Amidst speculation about her health and potential absence from King Charles' official birthday celebrations in June, Kate Middleton and Prince William recently shared candid insights into their private lives, highlighting that even royalty isn't immune to everyday challenges.
In a lighthearted conversation on BBC Radio 1’s 'Going Home', Prince William initially shared his favorite emoji, hinting at its playful connotations often associated with risqué messaging. However, he quickly revised his choice, opting for a more mature option.
When prompted about his preferred cartoon-like text character, the Prince of Wales cheekily responded, "Is this a clean choice or a family-friendly one? I've been advised against selecting the eggplant emoji, so I'll go with the one where the eyes move up and down and the mouth is open."
Joining her husband in the playful banter, Kate Middleton shared her favorite emoji, confessing, "It's the heart followed by the crying emoji — the one that depicts 'hysterical laughter' when things haven't gone as planned."
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge further opened up about their personal lives during a forum in Birmingham to commemorate World Mental Health Day, engaging in a candid conversation with Radio 1 hosts Jordan North and Vick Hope.
The use of emojis within the royal family has garnered attention over the years, with previous headlines highlighting Prince Harry's unique affinity for the ghost emoji.
According to authors Carolyn Durand and Omid Scobie, who penned the royal biography 'Finding Freedom', Harry's text messages are "replete with emojis, particularly the ghost emoji, which he frequently substitutes for a traditional smiley face."
These revelations come at a time when Kate Middleton's health is under heightened scrutiny, following a photo-editing controversy that sparked concerns about her well-being.
The Duchess of Cambridge found herself at the center of a media frenzy after leading photo agencies issued a 'kill' notice, alleging that the photo released for Mother's Day had been "manipulated" at the "source."
In response, Kate Middleton issued a public apology, describing herself as an 'amateur photographer' who was merely 'experimenting.'
