In response to Princess Kate's jest about it depending on the WhatsApp group, William unveiled that his initial choice, the aubergine emoji, was vetoed, leading him to pick another. He then confessed, 'It would have been the aubergine, but I'm saying now because I've got to be a little grown up that it's the one with the eyes [that] go up and down, and the mouth.'
The hosts expressed surprise and delight at William's response, with one remarking, 'He said the aubergine emoji, this is brilliant.' Co-host Vick jokingly left the heir to the throne red-faced with the quip, 'He knows. He’s got a dirty mind.'
In contrast, Princess Kate made a less risqué choice, revealing that her favorite emoji is "the heart with the crying emoji." She explained it as the kind used for 'hysterical laughing' when things have gone wrong.
The royal family's emoji preferences have garnered attention over the years, with headlines worldwide analyzing Prince Harry’s unconventional fondness for the ghost emoji.
