Prince William’s Go-To Emoji Is Seriously Spicy

As for his family-friendly emoji of choice when texting, William, Prince of Wales revealed on BBC’s Radio 1 that it was “the one where the eyes go up and down and the mouth’s out. What’s that one? The slightly crazy one.” As for Catherine, Princess of Wales, her most-used emoji was: “the heart with then the crying emoji. The hysterical laughing when things have gone wrong.” We’re not quite sure of the context in which the royals use any of their favored emojis, but their texts sound like they could be pretty fun. And, other than the aubergine, they sound like pretty typical emojis for parents of three young kids — slightly crazy and laughter when things go wrong? That’s something pretty much every parent can relate to.

And while Prince William might like his emojis on the spicy side, that doesn’t apply to his food. When asked on the show what they were having for dinner tonight, they said curry was definitely a potential option, that or salmon teriyaki. But the curry would have to be on the mild side for Prince William, with Kate adding extra spice for herself at the end. As royal fans, we love seeing glimpses into the Wales’ private life and knowing, at least in some ways, they’re just like us.
