Prince William

Prince William’s most frequently used emoji has a double meaning

Prince William

Prince William revealed his most-used emoji during a radio show alongside his wife, Catherine…and it’s kinda surprising fans!


Why? Well, the 41-year-old royal, Prince William, revealed that his most-used emoji is one with a sexual undertone that is often used during more explicit convos.

The Prince and Princess of Wales made a charming appearance on BBC’s Radio 1 “Going Home” show, while in Birmingham. During the show, hosts Jordan North and Vick Hope decided to lighten the mood by asking the royal couple about their most-used emojis.

Prince William, showing his playful side, initially revealed that his go-to emoji was the aubergine, known to Americans as the eggplant. Amid laughter from the hosts, William playfully questioned whether this choice was appropriate for a family audience. He then jokingly changed his answer, opting for the emoji with eyes going up and down and a mouth out, emphasizing his commitment to being “all grown up.”

In contrast, Princess Kate shared a more reserved choice, citing the heart with the crying emoji. Her explanation was endearing, describing it as the perfect expression for “hysterical laughing” when things go awry. The royal couple’s emoji preferences provided a lighthearted glimpse into their playful personalities.

Post-interview, the radio hosts were clearly delighted by William’s unexpected revelation. North enthusiastically exclaimed, “He said the aubergine emoji, this is brilliant!” Meanwhile, Hope playfully teased that the future king of England might have “a dirty mind,” adding to the jovial atmosphere of the show.



This royal emoji discussion brought to mind previous revelations about Prince Harry’s emoji usage. In the 2020 book “Finding Freedom” by Carolyn Durand and Omid Scobie, it was disclosed that Prince Harry favoured the ghost emoji in his texts.

The authors noted that Harry’s messages were often short and filled with emojis, particularly opting for the ghost instead of a traditional smiley face. Meghan Markle reportedly found his texting style amusing and adorable, adding a personal touch to their digital communication.

Kate Middleton

What was Catherine’s net worth before she married Prince William and what is it now?

What was Kate Middleton's net worth before she married William and what is it now?

Kate Middleton’s Net Worth Was Enormous Before Joining the Royal Family—and Now It’s Even Bigger.


So, What Is Kate Middleton’s Total Net Worth?

Princess of Wales and next in line to be Queen, Kate married into a generationally wealthy family whose working members get official expenses covered by proceeds from their vast land holdings, and she and her husband have only gotten wealthier during their marriage.

It’s not possible to determine the exact net worth of a royal, but CelebrityNetWorth pegs Kate’s current net worth at an estimated $10 million. Her husband’s net worth, calculated by the same source, is $100 million—an estimate that doesn’t appear to include a private estate reportedly worth more than $1 billion.

Although the princess was technically a commoner prior to marrying Prince William, she comes from a wealthy family. The Middletons own a popular party supply business called Party Pieces, and their shared net worth is about $50 million.

Regardless, on top of being the inspiration behind Party Pieces (Carole says she got the idea while planning Kate’s fifth birthday party), Kate worked for the brand before joining the royals. Speaking to SheerLuxe, Carole explained that “Pippa wrote our ‘Party Times’ blog, James did the cakes when he first left school, and Catherine developed our first birthday and baby category.” In other words, it seems likely that Kate has a stake in the family biz—for better or for worse.

Kate’s net worth (not counting everything Wills brings to the table) is $10 million per Celebrity Net Worth—which is a lot less than her sister Pippa Middleton has in the bank (she has a net worth of $50 million, in part because of her husband’s majorly wealthy family) but a lot more than some other royals like Princess Eugenie (who has a net worth of $4.6 million).


But now that her father-in-law, King Charles, has taken over as Britain’s newest monarch, we want to know: Did this change her financial status?

When King Charles III ascended the British throne, Princess Catherine and her husband became the Prince and Princess of Wales. Fortunately for them both, that meant a change for their bank accounts as well. One big financial perk was that they inherited the $1.2 billion Duchy of Cornwall estate, as well as a special Welsh home from King Charles.

Queen Elizabeth left the vast majority of her priceless jewellery collection for Princess Catherine, and it’s reportedly worth billions of pounds. However, royal expert Katie Nicholl explained that there’s a “pecking order.” She told Marie Claire, “There is a hierarchy in all of this. The Queen Consort, really, gets the first choice of the Queen’s jewellery. And after that is Princess of Wales, of course, Kate.”

The late monarch’s iconic jewellery collection includes tiaras, crowns, necklaces, brooches, earrings and more. All we can say is, wow.

Royal fans are curious about the title Carole Middleton will get when William becomes King

Carole Middleton

Carole Middleton has been a huge support to her daughter, famously helping orchestrate her marriage to the future King.


As a royal fan have you ever wondered what title Carole Middleton will get when William becomes the King?

If you’re wondering what Kate Middleton’s mother’s royal title will be when William takes the throne, you might be disappointed. There’s increasing chatter about the next chapter of the British royal family as the 75-year-old King Charles undergoes treatment for an undisclosed kind of cancer. The monarch immediately began treatment, and in the months since, there has been much speculation about how his condition has progressed—with some sources even claiming that his health is “not good.”

Royal expert Katie Nicholl hit back against these reports. “There have been claims in some media outlets that the king is not doing well in his cancer battle. I think the announcements out of the palace and… the king’s imminent return to public duties should stop such nonsense in its track, quite frankly,” Nicholl told Entertainment Tonight. Though as the Kind’s eldest son, William will become king eventually, which means Catherine will be queen. Here’s what that means for Kate Middleton‘s mother’s royal title.

Kate Middleton’s mother won’t get a royal title, according to reports, quite simply because she’s not a royal. Per the Royal Family website, the monarch is the “fountain of honor” in the UK and has the “sole right” of conferring titles of honor. However, it’s understood that new hereditary peerages are typically only granted to members of the Royal Family.

Carole won’t receive the title of Queen Mother, either, because that is reserved for someone who is the mother of the current monarch and the widow of the former King. The last Queen Mother was Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, the mother of Queen Elizabeth II and wife of King George VI.



Even Queen Camilla won’t receive the title if she is widowed when Prince William ascends to the throne, as she’s not Prince William’s mother. She would, however, become a Dowager Queen or Queen Dowager should Charles pass away during his reign.

Carole and her husband Michael are said to be facing serious debt that they are reportedly unable to pay off. According to The Times newspaper, the couple cannot come up with the “£260,000 (over $329,000) insolvency firm costs” for their struggling business, The Party Pieces Company. The company, founded in 1987 by the Middletons, went into administration last June, owing creditors £2.6 million.

According to insiders quoted in Us Weekly, Carole is trying to protect her daughter from the family’s money woes, with the desire for Catherine to focus solely on getting better. “Carole is desperately trying to keep Catherine fully focused on her recovery,” a source told Us.

“It’s a very worrying time for the family but they are not looking for any assistance from their children and don’t want them to worry.” The source continued: “Catherine and her parents are very close and they always check in with each other, but talk about the business is off limits as she needs to focus on her health.”

Prince William reveals Princess Charlotte’s favourite ‘dad joke’

Prince William

Prince William turned up at a West Midlands school to surprise a student who had penned a personal letter to him about mental health.


The importance of treating mental health with the same emphasis as physical health is a cornerstone of Prince William and Kate’s charity work.


Prince William just gave a glimmer into Princess Charlotte’s sense of humour. The Prince of Wales, 41, revealed during a visit to St. Michael’s Church of England High School in Sandwell on April 25 to hear about their mental health initiatives. During a small group session to record for the school radio show, Prince William was asked to share a “dad joke,” but he opted to quote a classic that is a current hit with his 8-year-old daughter, Princess Charlotte.

“I am here with the gang talking about male mental health, and I’ve been asked to produce a dad joke. I was trying to channel Jack Whitehall because most of his jokes are pretty dad-like,” the royal began referring to the British actor and comedian, as seen in a video shared to X by Rebecca English of the Daily Mail.

“I think what I’ll do is say a joke that is Charlotte’s favourite joke at the moment, that she keeps telling me,” he told the pupils, adding that they’d have to interact for it to work. “Knock knock,” Prince William began. “Who’s there?” the students replied in unison.   “Interrupting cow,” Prince William continued.

As the kids started to reply, “Interrupting cow who?” Prince William interjected with “Moo!” prompting giggles from the group. “That’s the one I hear a lot of at home at the moment,” said the royal dad, who shares Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, 6, with his wife, Kate Middleton. “That’s the greatest one I can think of that’s clean and broadcastable,” he added with a laugh before receiving a compliment from one special student. “It’s good, it’s good!” said 12-year-old Freddie Hadley, who sat next to the Prince of Wales.

St. Michael’s Church of England High School came on the royal’s radar after Freddie wrote a letter to Prince William and Princess Kate, 42. Freddie invited the royal couple to the school’s celebrations for World Mental Health Day in October 2023.


King Charles’ elder son replied with a personal message on X: “Good afternoon Freddie, I’m so sorry Catherine and I can’t be with you and the rest of the students at St Michael’s today. Tackling mental health challenges and stigmas head-on is so important, please keep up this important work.”

Prince William signed the message “W,” indicating that the note came directly from him. On April 25, the pair finally got to meet when the royal visited the school, where Prince William told Freddie, “Your letter worked.”

Prince William saw firsthand the Matrix Project work, which Freddie highlighted in his letter for bringing boys aged 11 to 14 together to develop ideas and projects to tackle mental health challenges. He joined a session with some of the boys and was told how they launched the #AmIManlyEnough campaign to encourage men to communicate their feelings and tackle taboos surrounding mental health.

Freddie tells PEOPLE that it was a “massive shock” to see Prince William arrive at his school. “He is a very nice guy,” the student says. “When I sat down with him about what we do in school with our Matrix Project, I got more comfortable and I felt like I got into his way of thinking about it. He asked us about why we do our stuff and why he is an advocate for male mental health.”

Freddie adds that William “said from working with charities for mental health he realizes — as he’s a male himself — he’s gone through those things before. He realizes it is such a massive thing in today’s society, and he wanted to step up and get these issues sorted out.”
