    How can we join?

    You're probably not all that surprised to learn that these are the most popular royals. The top spots go to Prince Harry, the Queen herself, and Prince William - but don't worry, Prince George got a place in the top ten, too (and well deserved, we might add).

    So in light of the fact that Harry and William are fan faves, you'll probably be interested to know that they are besties behind the scenes, too - despite what many of the headlines have suggested over the past few weeks.

    The brothers are closer than ever, and they even keep in touch via a group chat. No, really. They've got a thread going on.

    And as if we needed any more proof that the royals are just like us really, it turns out that the fab four use a family chat to keep up with each other. Apparently, William, Kate, Harry, and Meghan are 'all on a family text chain,' according to a source close to the royal family who spoke to Us Weekly.

    What do you reckon they talk about? Do they communicate through memes and gifs and emojis? Do they share their thoughts on the latest episode of EastEnders? We need to know.

    While it's all very lovely and we can only imagine what royal lols go on in their private messages, we have one question - why isn't the Queen invited to get in on the action? She'd be an absolute joker, we imagine. Have you read about her Christmas present rules?

    The source also touched on recent reports that there is friction between the Duchess of Cambridge and the Duchess of Sussex, quashing the rumours once and for all.

    'Kate is lovely. She’s British, she’s reserved. You have to break through that armour,' they told the publication.

    'Kate doesn’t warm up to people too quickly. It takes some time for her to become comfortable and trusting for anyone in the outside world.'

    So there you have it.
