Royal Family News – Prince William Loves The ‘Eggplant’ Emoji

During a royal engagement with his wife Kate Middleton, Prince William was asked what his favorite and most-used emoji would be.

And you better believe that he said it was the eggplant, which is often used for more X-rated texts.

According to People, William confessed, “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.”

While this was certainly an answer that definitely came way out of left field, a lot of royal fans and critics alike seem to be rather confused by it, too.

Some have even taken to social media to comment on the matter with, “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,” along with, “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?”

Another critic wrote, “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. 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.”
