Buckingham Blues by Weird Al Yankovic:

Gonna tell you a story about Chuck and Diane
Couple British kids from the palace at Buckingham
Chuckie wants to grow up and be a polo star
And ride his little horsies all around the backyard, oh yeah

You know they really paid their dues
I said, "Hey, lawdy mama
They got them Buckingham blues"

Now Chuckie goes hunting and leaves Diane alone
So she fixes her hair and she talks on the princess phone
Chuckie's still tryin' to figure out what his job's supposed to be
And Diane's the fashion leader of the aristocracy

I said, "Hey, Lady Di
Tell me, where'd you get them shoes? Ah
Well, hey nonny, nonny
Looks like you got them Buckingham blues"

Aw, bein' heir to the throne, well it must be awful hard
Gotta pose for pictures out on the front yard
And Lady Di, well,…

> is a peron by the name Charles nickname chuck

Yes, one of them. Chas, Charlie and Chuck spring to mind.

"Charles and Diana" were "Chuck and Di" in some places ...

Chuck here is more a term of endearment as in "What's up chuck?" (dear, luv, darling, sweetie)
