Prince William sports shaved head on royal visit

That is smarter than doing a combover.

he should get hair transplants and he would be a million times more popular than he is now and they will want him to be next king instead of his dad. dumb.

Couldn't there have been some royal propecia or rogaine? He looks 60.

[quote]and they will want him to be next king instead of his dad.

I love how Americans think the line of succession works like the People's Choice Awards.

Prince is keeping it real. I like him better.

He looks handsome again. Good move.

r4 we just assume THE QUEEN would pronounce him King and have Charles poisoned.

Better a baldy King than a fragile Queen.

Good lord his looks fell apart.

He looks great. I've wondered for years why he would not do this. Now he needs to tell his Uncle Edward to do the same thing.

He should also grow his beard back.

He looks so much better with it shaved off.

Shaving it off was the right call, surprised he hadn't bit that bullet already.

Yeah, he should do what Trump does and pathetically cling to his vanished hair. That'd make him popular and handsome.

Looks as good as he possibly can. Those Windsor genes will eventually get you.

I can't believe he's only 35. His baldness makes him look late 40s.

And Harry is one to talk, he's going bald too.

He looks awful. I've had two transplants that ran me the cost of a fully loaded Jaguar and they were worth every penny. If I can afford them, Christ knows that Princes William and Henry certainly could. Plus, Harry could be very good looking if he had his teeth and nose fixed.

I just don't get why they are so opposed to such things.

[quote]I just don't get why they are so opposed to such things.

He is the heir to the British throne, not a Hollywood actor. The expectations of behavior are different.

From the side he looks like his grandpa.

Oh for fuck's sake, R18, if Prince Henry began a series of transplants and did them in, say, four successive surgeries he would great and few would be the wiser. A judicious, well executed nose job and six veneers on his "social six" teeth would be the icing on the cake.

Centuries of inbreeding will do that to a person.

^ he would *LOOK* great

To look good with a shaved it must right shape plus the part still has hair should be completely gone. If his mother was alive something would have been done. He looks terrible.

Agree, if Mum was alive there would have been gradual hair transplants. And Elton could have walked him through the process.

He doesn't "look handsome again." I agree with others if he had transplants or Rogaine he'd look better than he does, but handsome isn't coming back. I wonder if Kate imagines someone else when they're doing it.

Lice.

Oh what a good idea — turn to Elton John on lessons on how to age gracefully! He looks like an overstuffed Where's Waldo doll and his hair looks like it's 10 years old.

Have some Tranya!

You girls are mean! William looks fabulous and he has a hot body. His shaved head looks a lot better than Harry’s tragic combover.

[Quote]He looks awful. I've had two transplants that ran me the cost of a fully loaded Jaguar and they were worth every penny

R17, looking FABULOUS:

Transplants actually can look really natural. It depends on how good the doctor is and if he's recreating a hairline or just augmenting one that's still there. I've heard it's really painful, though.

Speaking of, Trump's scalp reduction surgery - he's known to be really loathe to take drugs, even things like aspirin, so I wonder if when he was beating Ivanka was because he wouldn't take painkillers.

R17 William will become the king of England -- a man can have no better conceit of himself, you scabby bum sucker!!

r32 he said he spent the Jaguar money on his hair transplants (Which means he must have had them done a decade ago, they are much cheaper now, or he lives in New York and got an expensive surgeon).

How DARE you look at the king R33! I have YOU in my eye, sir!

Exciting news; have it forwarded to Ron Howard asap!

Did he donate the old hair to Locks for Love? Or does he hate cancer patients or whatever?

It’s his head he could do what he wants. Yes everyone looks better with hair but it’s not in the cards for everyone. Why subject yourself to non medically necessary surgeries or pills or futzing with toupees? He’s married with kids and is the future king of England he doesn’t have to impress anyone. People shouldn’t be so shallow.

Good for him. I think he should’ve buzzed it a little closer though.

Such a tragedy from then to now.

Pierce Brosnan. If only William could age like him.

Earl Charles Spencer - Diana's brother - has hair and looks great. Those Windsor genes are awful.

Maybe he isn't vain and doesn't give a fuck.

It's not like William has much choice, r42. Ugly or Ugly? Pick one. "Guess I'll go with Ugly."

He should go completely bald and grow a beard.

I can’t believe this just made national news.

r44 yes please, I'll take him and that sweater he's wearing, too.

Well, maybe this is a sign that Trump's real legacy will be encouraging men to embrace their real hairline, rather than risk making fools of themselves.

lol r47, I hadn't seen that photo before. It really does show the "Ivanka special" hairstyle, though, doesn't it?

Combovers require a lot of hairspray and gel.

Why should he care? He's going to be king.

We figured that out, r50.

Not everyone looks good with shaved head. Black guys usually do. Some look worse. He’s going to be the King. He needs to look his best.

Maybe he'll look hotter when he hits his forties if his fat cheeks hollow out.

Big improvement! Always wondered why he didn't go for full on shaved head. Just needs to whiten up those English teeth and he'll be groovy in a grown up royal way.

Computer Aging Progression for Wills and Kate.

Wills and Kate again in their 40s.

Wills and Harry - Middle-aged.

As long as he didn't shave his pubes as well

r58 he did, otherwise how else could he and Kate scissor?

If his Windsor genes kick into super high gear his teeth are going to be down to his knees in a decade.

r58 - Kate Windsor

Yikes he really is all bald on top

He's a good guy. Leave him alone.

I like his look better with a short beard.

[quote] Members of the Royal Family have been known to tease the 35-year-old about his receding hairline.

After he eventually ascends to the throne, can't he have those same members thrown into the Tower or beheaded?

or steal their hair and make a wig?

Looks good but he needs to not use a razor down the middle it loojs awkward, just keep it same length all ovah

[quote]Members of the Royal Family have been known to tease the 35-year-old about his receding hairline.

So they've been teasing him for 18 years now?

He thinks that will make the chemo patients like him more.

Well it does

he looks better but he didn't shave his head. he still has hair. sidewalls.....kinda.

His head is not shaved. He clearly has just had the hair cut short as you can see what hair he has left on the top is still there but very short. He probably just got sick of dealing with that whispy sparse hair constantly being blown in the wind. Hair that thin can not be controlled. Hair lacquer is not an option as it would coat the man's scalp and not feel nice at all.

Very unattractive. All teeth and nose

Does Rose Hanbury, the Marchioness of Cholmondeley, approve of William's bald noggin?

Just get rid of all of it. That stuff on the sides looms awful

Pretty sure you need to take finasteride tablets if you have a hair transplant which carries a (low) risk of male infertility.

Not ideal for a Prince.

Fine for most gay men though, I've been taking it since my 30's and still have a full head of hair in my early 50's, unlike my straight breeder Brother.

maybe he's less shallow than you are.

He doesn’t have to impress anyone.

I've been convinced since he started going bald that he was forbidden from using things like finasteride specifically because of concerns over side effects that might compromise the royal gene pool, in one way or another. No young guy who had as a great of a mane as he did in his (early to mid) teens and who was held up as a handsome heart-throb, would have been able to avoid being somewhat vain. And no guy that young gives into hair loss without trying a few things first. Unless, he's forbidden to do so.

[quote] Earl Charles Spencer - Diana's brother - has hair and looks great. Those Windsor genes are awful.

That's not how it works.

Men typically inherit their hair from their mother's father's line. William's maternal grandfather was John, the 8th Earl Spencer. he lost most of his hair in old age (he was a redhead like Harry originally).

The current 9th Earl Spencer, Charles, Diana's brother, inherited hair genes from HIS mother's father line, and his maternal grandfather was Maurice Roche, 4th Baron Fermoy. He did not inherit his hair genes from his father's side.

[quote] And no guy that young gives into hair loss without trying a few things first.

I don't think that's true. And he might have tried things other than wigs or surgical transplants (such as Rogaine) that we dodn't know about.

Shallow gay men always assume everyone else is as shallow as they are.

t least he isn't enmired in the business involving his uncle. horrible

You know what would cover that spot well?

A CROWN

He should have shaved his whole head.

R81 No, the myth that we inherit our hair genes only from our mother's side is not entirely true either, in fact it's been debunked by multiple studies and genetic analysis. Hair loss is caused by multiple factors including genetics, and with genetics there is a wide variance of factors involved when it comes to androgenic hair loss. Simply put, there isn't one hair loss gene, but a confluence of genetic interplay that determines your chance of going bald like The Rock or having a full head of hair like Ronald Reagan well into old age.

I prefer this haircut.

R88 WIG!

It was like, years ago R89.

And it looked like a wig back then

And this cut.

I wonder if William hates doing these charity things like visiting hospitals and such when all of his rich friends are getting drunk on yachts in the Mediterranean. I can imagine him being envious of his friends who truly get to live the lives of the wealthy, while he really can't.

R89 Do you really think Bill Cambridge wore wig?

R92 It's unfortunate how poorly people age in that family (expert Elizabeth herself). Uncles Andrew and Edward were once also similarly striking.

I have a feeling that he feels loyal to the legacy that his mother left, and probably has more interest in that than getting bombed with a bunch of entitled frat boys R93.

R96 I think Harry is very interested in upholding his mother's legacy too which may one of many explanations for Meghan.

r96 Maybe it pisses them off that their friends are always jetting off somewhere but they're stuck doing their duties. Harry can't even go on a "working" trip in a private plane to Sicily without controversy.

Why doesn’t he shave the sides too? It would look best completely bald, like John Travolta finally did.

Our future King is bae, bald or otherwise. x

Bald is ALWAYS better than a combover. And gray is better than GravyMaster brown or shoe polish black.

Hair transplants always look bad. I wish I could find the pic of the teenage prince in a speedo. It was really something.

R31, he RAPED Ivana, he didn't "beat her". And no, lack of painkillers does not provoke most men to rape and beat their wives.

R31 and R103 - Are we talking about Ivana or Ivanka getting beat by Trump?

He has a massive dick. Over abundance of testosterone caused male pattern baldness.

A bushy blond beard would look very king-like. He is going to be a hot fucking daddy.

Yeah, whatever. Baldy won't be regnant very long if I have anything to do with it.

R105, we’ve seen it. It ain’t massive.

shave it bald. moisturize the pate. done.

He's hawt!

Jesus. They don't age, they morph.

Almost like they are lizard people.

r112 He was quite handsome young.

shave the whole head

Yes R107, what a joke on the House of Windsor - a group of Middleton coal miner look-alikes will inherit the throne.
