Prince Picking Style

This might be a ridiculous question, but I have been watching Prince picking lately and I see him thumb is down a lot. Does anyone know if he flat picks or he does he use the side of the pick with his thumb down?

but if I had to go off the sound, I would guess he alternates between flat, and chicken picking, maybe getting a little of the flesh from the thumb on solos a little.. maybe
