FYI "darling" can also be used with a spouse or romantic partner. Your husband or girlfriend can be your "darling" just like "honey" or "baby". It has a similar meaning in this case, where "darling of the group" means everyone really likes them, even if not sexual/romantic.
And this use, "darling of the ____", is a slightly older, but relatively common, saying.
