The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and Kate Middleton, have offered a glimpse into their private lives during a candid conversation on BBC Radio 1’s ‘Going Home’.
Amidst recent speculation surrounding the royal family, the couple shared some intimate details, shedding light on their everyday experiences, just like any ordinary couple.
During the lighthearted exchange, Prince Charles ventured into uncharted territory, revealing his initial favorite emoji, which raised some eyebrows.
However, swiftly realising the need for a more mature stance, the Prince of Wales adjusted his answer, opting for a more innocuous choice. Meanwhile, Kate Middleton disclosed her favored emoji, the heart with the crying face, describing it as a symbol of laughter during challenging times.
The Duke and Duchess continued to delve into their personal lives, engaging in conversation with Radio 1 hosts Jordan North and Vick Hope at a forum in Birmingham, marking World Mental Health Day.
Their willingness to share lesser-known aspects of their lives comes amidst heightened public interest and scrutiny, especially surrounding recent controversies.
Royal emoji preferences have long captivated public attention, with previous reports highlighting Prince Harry's unconventional use of the ghost emoji.
Authors Carolyn Durand and Omid Scobie delved into this facet of Harry's communication in their royal biography, "Finding Freedom", revealing his penchant for emojis, particularly the ghost, as an alternative to the conventional smiley face.
This revelation from the royal couple arrives amidst ongoing speculation regarding Kate Middleton's well-being, following a recent photo editing scandal.
Concerns were raised after a Mother's Day photo shared by the Duchess sparked controversy, with four top photo agencies issuing a 'kill' notice, citing manipulation at the source. Kate Middleton subsequently issued an apology, attributing the incident to her experimentation as an amateur photographer.
