Why is Prince William’s most-used emoji the eggplant? To whomst is he texting??

Prince William and Kate come across as such throwbacks to another era, it’s hard to think of them as modern people who text emojis. They’re surely too Victorian to know about the peach emoji, right? When someone described Kate a “Millennial Queen,” I was actually shocked by the realization that, oh right, technically she IS Millennial (or perhaps more of an Xennial, but that’s a conversation for another time). Anyway, Will and Kate did a radio interview on World Mental Health Day and the quotes from the interview are really something. They listed their favorite emojis and William’s most-used emoji is… shocking.

Kate Middleton and Prince William have favorite emojis just like the rest of us! During an interview with Radio 1 show hosts Jordan North and Vick Hope for their Going Home show, the royal couple was asked a few light-hearted questions sent in by listeners.

When asked what their most-used emojis are, William joked that he was going to have to think of a family-friendly option because his initial answer would be the aubergine [eggplant].
“Is this a clean thing or is this a family one?” he said with a laugh. “I’ve been told not to say the aubergine so I’ve got to pick something else. It would have been the aubergine but I’m saying now—because I’ve got to be all grown up—it’s the one where the eyes go up and down and the mouth’s out. What’s that one? The slightly crazy one.”

Kate then shared which emoji she opts for, and gave listeners a little insight into when she uses it.

“Mine’s probably going to be the heart with then the crying emoji. The hysterical laughing when things have gone wrong,” the royal admitted.

Both presenters were amused by William’s initial suggestion of the aubergine emoji. “He said the aubergine emoji, this is brilliant!” North said. Hope added, “He knows. He’s got a dirty mind.”

[From People]

Genuine question: why the hell is the eggplant – often used as a reference to dong – William’s most-used emoji? He’s texting eggplants to WHOM?? This is the second time in two weeks where I’ve really wondered about William’s inappropriate conversation and behavior during events. The first was when he suggested that women were pinching his bottom, and now this! Why does William want us to think about the royal jewels and the royal bum? Yikes.

    Makes sense. He is the Prince of Pegging after all.

  2. MY3CENTS says:

    An egg can say it’s a eggplant all day long but it’s still an egg.

  3. Jais says:

    Bizarre. How does this detail not scandalize the pearl-clutching royalists? And it’s weird. I don’t want to know William texts about dicks all the time. Like what? Although, the hysterical laughing emoji for Kate might have been to on the nose.

    • Lux says:

      It’s not scandalous if THEY planned it. Somewhere on a notepad at Kensington Palace:

      Operation Heartthrob Wills

      -Get him in waders and call it sexy (post notes: can BM use less constipated pic next time??)

      -“Oysters and William SEO” first search (post notes: buy extra bots)

      -Run in Central Park a la sexy JFK Jr/Diana (post notes: okay, where TF were the peasants we paid to take snaps on their phone??)

      -Accuse the air of bum pinching at BHM event (post notes: excellent execution/delivery! Now the world thinks black people want him/it’s not assault if he’s that sexy ✔️)

      -Association with Aubergine…link with aubergine…stand next to aubergine…get reporter to ask about favorite emoji! Wills to say “definitely NOT the aubergine” wink* wink* (post notes: brilliant entendre; a sex god is born. Buy double the bots)

    • nona93 says:

      No! No! It’s same old, same old. Copying Harry who no doubt won legions of young followers when he spoke about his todger and Willy is trying to pretend he can be a bit of a larrikin too like Harry by saying his favourite emoji is an aubergine and also famously asking a gathering “who pinched my bottom.” It really is pathetic and childish. Young brits are not supporting the future of the monarchy like the oldies. Stuffy old Peg is so try hard with everything but his goofy look betrays his true weak character compared to Harry.

  4. “Because I’ve got to be all grown up”. Well now he has admitted that he is a man child. As for the eggplant he is the prince of pegging after all and the eggplant is used as a sexual connotation. Some one needs to come up with an emoji for pegging. Any suggestions?

    • Cessily says:

      Sometimes I wonder if he has grown beyond the age of tween boy emotionally. Bet he draws “eggplants” all over the walls and ceilings with glow in the dark invisible ink and thinks that’s hilarious like my tween boys and their wonderful friends did during a summer sleepover. Seems to be the level of maturity Peg has.

      As for a pegging emoji 🎯 maybe?

    • tamsin says:

      His reply suggests that they were given the questions ahead of time, “I’ve been told…” Does he want it known that he has dick on the brain all the time, like a teen-age boy? One thinks that William’s emotional growth is frozen at the age of 15 which is when his mother died.

  5. Cristina says:

    Wow! This is baffling to me. Is he THIS OBTUSE?

    • TigerMcQueen says:

      Apparently. I’m kind of gobsmacked, especially how he kept going on about it. It’s so weird.

      • Sobiewski says:

        Maybe he popped one too many xannies before his interview. it is odd behavior. So he’s gone from boring old man stodge to weirdo schlong obsessive in 2 seconds flat. Are we in an alternate reality? just asking for friends lol

      • Cairidh says:

        William used to constantly wear ill fitting trousers that made his package clearly visible. It got so many comments on the internet and even articles were written about it (there was an Australian article with the headline Heir’s #ock).
        Eventually he stopped doing it, but it took a very long time considering how many people were commenting on it.
        So now, my mother who doesn’t usually pay attention to the Royals, always mentions William whenever she buys a really big cucumber “William would like this one” or hears a phallic joke. Because she thinks he’s obsessed with his manhood, that he had to keep showing it to everyone. So…yeah, Maybe he is.

    • B says:

      Yes. He really is.

    • JP says:

      Such an inappropriate comment, and I think it goes without saying- kate is not on the receiving end of those emojis.

      • Lux says:

        Between this and the airplane shoes, our global statesman is 42 going on 12! How adorable! How professionally funny!

    • Brassy Rebel says:

      William told on himself, that’s for sure.

    • Lizzie Bathory says:

      I actually can’t believe he said this thinking it was funny/relatable instead of just…weird.

      • JanetDR says:

        Weird and gross. Is it too much to ask for him to shut up about his private parts? Definitely didn’t have this on my Kingly Behavior bingo card…

    • SueBarbri33 says:

      It’s the same thing with the bum pinching comment from the Black history event last week. Even if there weren’t all these crazy rumors about his personal life out there, did he really think it was funny or clever for the future kang to mention such a thing? I mean…if this were anybody else, I would assume he was “being funny,” but given everything we know about his odd behavior and his raging temper, I have no choice but to assume it is all true.

      • Sobiewski says:

        Maybe he popped one too many xannies before his interview. it is odd behavior. So he’s gone from boring old man stodge to weirdo schlong obsessive in 2 seconds flat. Are we in an alternate reality? just asking for friends lol

      • Cairidh says:

        The Twitter account cantabellecitadelle which i think is Carole (it’s always posting previously unknown/insider information about William and Kate’s relationship, and the middletons) said the person who was pinching his bottom has been identified as Kate. They posted photos of the previous occasions she’s grabbed his ass in public. They seemed proud of it… applauding her for it.
        So….my guess, maybe she actually was pinching it at the recent event, and his words were to warn her to stop???

  6. Catherine says:

    Either William or someone in William’s camp thinks this is a way to seem funny. An attempt to counter his cold, awkward demeanor. It’s not. It is just inappropriate. He does not have Harry’s natural charm and ability to relate. So he tries to manufacture it but it’s just off. A lot of people think saying slightly risque things or telling risque jokes will make them more relatable. It doesn’t.

    • Eurydice says:

      Yes, I think he’s just trying to seem “with it.”

    • Sobiewski says:

      Yes. You hit it on the nail. This is them bp making an attempt to make William more human and relatable instead of like a boring stodgy old bore. They are making him look more like a creepy perv though. What’s next? Strobe lights up at buckingham palace and a couple of tamed down sex parties (a la eyes wide shut). He should break the bank and spend some money on a pr firm if he wants to better his image but i could save him the 6 figures in 3 seconds flat. Publicly and genuinely apologize to both Harry and Meghan. Spend some time with your brother and his family, actively and sincerely work on mending their relationships. He should go to therapy too. He just doesn’t seem like he emotes unless it is violently from what i hear. That needs to be worked on. If he did this and the media caught wind, this would actually start to humanize his image more. i know this will never happen btw.

  7. sevenblue says:

    I think this confirms that all those “sexy”, “hunk” William articles were coming directly from KP.

  8. Ohwell says:

    The Prince of Pegging bat symbol is the eggplant 🍆….. surprise, surprise.

    I don’t think it was Rose he was having the affair with, it was Roses husband.

  9. zebz says:

    meghan did an interview, in fact her last interview before she met harry, talking about her favorite emojis. she was also attacked in the BM for using emoji’s when texting. the way KP uses harry and meghan for content is literally insane. this isn’t the first time they’ve taken aspects of meghan’s old statements in interviews and claimed it for themselves. such as meghan’s statement in the cut interview about teaching archie about homeless people, william used for his homeless pr. her statement on her eating habbits, carole used in a puff article for herself. its not just fashion. its her language, creative vision and ideas being mocked and then used by the idiots that trashed her. its psychopathic.

  10. Wannabefarmer says:

    “…The hysterical laughing when things have gone wrong,”

    Oh dear, so should we read this into all those pictures of late?

    • Monlette says:

      I am imagining Meghan picking up a phone and seeing a text from Catherine saying “The dress doesn’t fit. Charlotte cried when she tried it on. The wedding is in three days and all the dresses have to be remade :hysterical laughing emoji:”

      Sorry. Not buying it.

  11. seaflower says:

    reminding us he’s a viral man still, while Khate is approaching her use by date…. ?

    Or letting Khate know he’s texting suggestive emojis to another female…?

  12. Naye in va says:

    Stop. This story writes itself. I just cannot with him today lol

  13. Krista says:

    Cringe

  14. Flower says:

    Well at least we know what he is sending given the context he gave to his answer….. eeek he doesn’t even care about embarrassing Kate anymore…..

  15. Shawna says:

    Kate’s is pretty illuminating, too. “The hysterical laughing when things have gone wrong” – blind item, anyone?

  16. Mslove says:

    He can’t use the eggplant emoji? He has to act “grown up?” How statesmanlike.

  17. The Hench says:

    Well basically this confirms everything we thought was going on in the Wales relationship. Sample text messaging….
    W to Lambrook Yummy Mummies Gym Group: Ladies, *eggplant emoji* here. Need to escape *crazy eyes emoji* asap. What time we meeting?
    K to CarolE: Mummy, *hysterical laughing/crying emoji* He’s leaving to see the LYMs again. *heart emoji* broken.
    CarolE to K: He’s a *eggplant emoji*

    • Harper says:

      Mummy, I can’t do a Bucklebury lunch today.. I have to visit the peasants with Big Willie again 🤣😭.
      Mummy, did you see those new pics of Harry? 💕💕❤️❤️
      Oh dear, Louis put the cat in the washer again 😭🤣.
      Harry will be in court tomorrow💕💕❤️❤️ should we try and drive by?

    • SAS says:

      Loooooool @Hench, nailed it!!!

  18. Becks1 says:

    What on earth? who decided this was a good idea for him to say this out loud? Is he trying to seem cool and hip? Is he trying to seem like he’s still “got it” and that there are still people who want his eggplant? I just don’t get it. Why say this?

    Mine is the crying/laughing face for those wondering.

  19. girl_ninja says:

    If they’re being honest then this is creepy and sad. We know that he’s not sending Kate eggplant 🍆 emojis. And Kate having the crying 😫 emoji is so sad.

    Where are the button and peg emojis?

    • Mary Pester says:

      So, basically, William is admitting he’s a PRK albeit a prk with teeth! So he will in future people, be signing all his missives with his very own eggplant emoji (with a crown no doubt)
      And as for Kate, yes folks, she has just admitted to useing a self portrait as an emoji, bat sht crazy eyed and hysterical.
      Now, I apologise in advance for my next comment (and please make allowances for the fact that I take morphine 😂❤️, BUT omg 1@Easternviolet, I have never, ever laughed so hard as when I read your comment, in fact I’m still chuckling, please people have another look, and forgive me 😂😂😂😂😂😂

      • lanne says:

        I hope the morphine is giving you the relief you need. I always enjoy your comments, and I’m glad you’re laughing today!

      • BeanieBean says:

        OMG, an eggplant with a crown!!! Love it, somebody needs to design that ASAP!
        👑🍆 🤷‍♀️

  20. Chaine says:

    This was super inappropriate. He is definitely the creepy dad to whose home you do not want your kid to go for their friend’s sleepover.

    • ohwell says:

      This is William without the PR. I like it. It exposes and shows the real him, not the ‘statesman” “hunk” “family man” junk.

      William is a jerk, a elitist douchebag and I suspect undercover gay man and dying to come out.

      • K says:

        Funny you should say that, l.heard William is apparently very kamp behind closed doors, but who knows ??

    • Jojo says:

      He’s just like his uncle Andrew was when he was younger. Except they’ve kept a much shorter leash on Willy because he’s the next king.

  21. MrsBanjo says:

    “Why does William want us to think about the royal jewels and the royal bum?”

    Because he’s in a constant one-sided competition with Harry.

  22. SAS says:

    Ew. This was an interview together?! If it was on his own I would 100% consider it signposting he’s single but now we’re going to be subjected to months of “how naughty texts help the Waleses keep the spice in their marriage”.

    I would honestly believe Charles sends hornier texts than Wills. That man is a charisma vacuum.

  23. Nuks says:

    whomst 😂

    He is so clearly a perv in text, and this is what he’s chasing all day, instead of being on his purpose as the future king. If he talked like this in a workplace? Oh my God. He is in dirty old man territory, he’s seriously turning into Prince Andrew.

    Guys like this, who force sex into the conversation are just verbal flashers.

    • First comment says:

      “Guys like this, who force sex into the conversation are just verbal flashers.” You are absolutely right! He did it to the photo op in Wales when he asked about his bottom…and who knows how many other times he mentions something similar and the RR doesn’t report it

  24. Amy Bee says:

    And Harry was supposed to be the dumb one?

    • ohwell says:

      William is thoroughly stage managed but every now and then his true personality shines through. His people told him not to say it but he could not help himself. He is dying to come out.

      He is the dumb one.

  25. Chrissy says:

    Ugh! So statesman-like. Such a leader. He’s such an total embarrassment. Someone sent this man to the Middle East to broker peace! This is the future British King. I just can’t…

  26. Em says:

    Do you know how sick you have to be for that to be your most used emoji? Man that valet must be pulling his/hers/their weight

    Secondly he doesn’t have Harry’s charisma to sell saying stuff like this, Harry would have made a quip about his wife being tired of receiving end of the emojis and Meghan would laugh. But here William makes not attempt to say he sends the emojis to his wife and Kate isn’t even admitting she receives them. So awkward

  27. Lurker25 says:

    1. If 🍆 is your MOST used emoji, you need sex addiction therapy. This is a mental health issue. So maybe it’s more appropriate than we think.
    2. The hysterically crying emoji… not that unusual for a mom of three kids. But it’s not like Kate is packing lunches while gathering her documents and cleaning the toilet and getting the kibble. So, also mental health issue

    These ppl just tell on themselves. Glad they’re opening up!

    Sidenote: Harry talked about overusing the ghost emoji and Meghan the dancing girl. These two really just copy paste everything h&m. It’s deranged.

  28. First comment says:

    Omg! I absolutely can’t understand him! It’s his way to appear relatable and sexy stateman? His comment is totally inappropriate. And Kate…the hysterical laughing emoji when everything goes wrong? Everything is going so wrong in this family…

  29. Saucy&Sassy says:

    I would anticipate that the questions that were asked were screened beforehand and WanK were given the list. Their answers are the ones they chose to use to respond to the question. Are they being honest?

    It appears that William is trying to appear relatable to the common people–he doesn’t have a clue how they think. It does make me wonder about the aristocracy.

    • Agreatreckoning says:

      Absolutely @Saucy&Sassy. The Wails had prepared answers to previously screened questions. They are not ad libbers.

      W is trying to appear relatable. Which is so funny. I’m pretty sure the younger demographic they’re trying to appeal to has moved on to something else. The youths of today are not working off of the Blockers movie from 2018. Once again, W is trying to be funny without being funny. He’s just stupid. Along with his wife.

      • Saucy&Sassy says:

        Agreatreckoning, it just occurred to me that Harry answered those questions from Stephen Colbert–is this why WanK are answering questions like these?

  30. Jaded says:

    Ohhh gawd…this is so, SO vulgar. I can’t even…he doesn’t have a “dirty mind”, he’s got the mind of a nasty, filthy little adolescent boy consumed with dick jokes and misogyny. SMH…

  31. Saschafrom76 says:

    That’s inappropriate and gross. So gets me thinking that He’s a “sex addict”! that’s how he strings her along. That’s why her russels sign is getting worse all the time. He’s so cringe in every way. Peg the monarchy all ready can these people just disappear already 🤮

  32. Macky says:

    Ditto what saucys says. I will add that William probably uses the aubergine as a sign off. If Kate texts her emoji don’t line up to what she’s feeling. Lol. Like you can’t trust her shorthand.

  33. Kittenmom says:

    Their fans will cast this as “Wills festively telegraphs his attraction to Catherine using 🍆 emojis” and “There will be an another royal baby in 9 months!”

    To which I respond with some of my own favorite emojis: 🙄🤮🤦🏻‍♀️

  34. AC says:

    For me what’s interesting is that this was also printed on People. I read the article on Mary Lou ‘s illness (very sad) and then the next article jumped to William’s emoji. I’m like really..… do we really need to know about this over here lolz..

  35. sparrow says:

    i cannot imagine for one moment that kate laughs when things go wrong; she looks so pent up and ready to go full icy cold meltdown at the drop of a hat (or aubergine). nice try at wanting to appear normal and full of fun.

  36. Huh, I could’ve sworn that it was revealed a couple of years ago that Kate’s favorite emoji was actually the barfing one? She was doing a Zoom call, I don’t remember the topic but I think was mental health related, and both she and the interviewer had their phones out because it pertained to the conversation somehow. Anyway, someone was able to get a screenshot of Kate’s phone, and it had some feature on the screen where it displayed her top 5 most used emojis, and the first one was the 🤮. I remember that it made a lot of people suspect at the time that Kate had secret troll accounts. Does anyone else remember this at all?

    • equality says:

      Having trouble finding out the date but it was in a video of Kate answering questions about early years. Maybe in Jan?

  37. bubblegum dreams says:

    Damn, Diana snatched those looks back so fast and so hard, she scalped him in the process..

  38. Kand says:

    Also, can we talk about how he tried to jokingly put down the national treasure who does the breakfast show for BBC Radio 1 in this interview but it just did noooootttt land at all? It just came off as weird and mean. He said that his interviewers are the future of radio because the morning show host is average. I’m sure he meant it as banter but it just sounded rude.

  39. AMTC says:

    Maybe he’s texting his ‘valet’.

  40. Cel2495 says:

    Oh gosh. He is a fool!

  41. Andrea says:

    Can’t you imagine Willy sending potential hookups, are you looking forward to my eggplant?

  42. slippers4life says:

    Dear idiotic horny 15 year old me crushing on 15 year old William in BC, you are going to look back on this time and vomit in your mouth. You think you hate eggplant now? Bahahahahahaha. Just you wait, kid! Just…you…wait! (Shudder)

  43. paintybox says:

    Maybe he can have his coat-of-arms re-done to put an eggplant in there somewhere! I know they’re trying to compete with the heat 🔥that Harry & Meghan naturally generate (by being a young, attractive and goodhearted couple who are actually in love with each other) but Will & Kate will never be anything but an icky, cheesy pair of jealous idiots. Their little hints at being “sexy” are repulsive. 🤢

  44. J.ferber says:

    Maybe he thinks he’s being risque, charming and endearing? He’s not. He is just gross. He does not know how to do small talk or serious, meaningful speeches. He is a fraud and a pervert.

  45. Jay says:

    William: I use the eggplant emoji every day.

    Kate: You do???
