Princesses Margaret Rose and Elizabeth photographed in the garden of their maternal grandparents, Lord and Lady Strathmore, in 1933. 

“I’m four and I’ve got a baby sister! […] And I’m going to call her ‘bud’.”
“Oh, but why ‘bud’? I don’t think I like that.”
“Well she’s not a real rose yet, is she, she’s only a bud!” 

- a conversation between Princess Elizabeth and her mother, the Duchess of York, shortly after the birth of Princess Margaret in 1930, as noted in The Story of Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret by Anne Ring (1933).

That is illegal amounts of cute.
