Engage in a conversation about your favorite celebs, teams, or royalty. If your friend uses a 👑 in a post about an actor, author, musician, royal family member, or sports team they love, try engaging in a passionate discussion if you feel the same way! If you don’t, ask them follow-up questions to find out more about why they love it.
- Them: “I love this actress, what a queen 👑”
  You: “Yes!! She’s so cool 🤩”
- Them: “This musician is the 👑 of my heart”
  You: “Ooo, I love him!”
- Them: “Even though she had to abdicate the throne, she will always be my 👑!”
  You: “Soo true! I’ll miss her! 😭”
- Them: “@MargotRobbie, I think you dropped this 👑”
  You: “I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything she’s in, do you have any recommendations?”

Let someone know you appreciate them if they call you their 👑. If you're someone's king or queen, it means they care about you (as a friend or maybe more!). Let them know how you feel about them in return—express your genuine feelings, or make a joke or pun about crowns or royalty to keep things lighthearted.
- Them: "You're my queen 👑"
  You: "Well every queen needs her king 👑😘"
- Them: "And how is my king doing today? 👑"
