That Prince William should just bite the bullet and get that hair transplant

I get the feeling he’d love one. He looked so handy with hair. Being the future King probably precludes him from getting one as it’s seen as trivial etc but I reckon he secretly wants one.

Do they do royal tours of Turkey?

He’s got a lovely bum, according to my DD who’s a Dr. She met him when he flew anir ambulance, and he did the change over to her. I like him stubbly. He was very handsome in his younger days with all that blond floppy hair. Thank goodness he inherited his mother’s looks.

Hang on, Catherine’s allowed hair extensions, so why not William, seems like double standards to me.

Mistyglade · 13/07/2025 18:05

I quite like the way it is. I hate it when they shave it all off, leaving what he has left is endearing and quite sweet I think.

PopeJoan2 · 13/07/2025 18:03

I’ve just had a look and am not sure what you’re talking about. The man has never looked better. He looks cool in his sunnies and with that beard.

Slight derail: what a lovely life they have when working on a Sunday means a family trip to Wimbledon with prime seats for a centre court final.

He’s not too old but too far gone

Washingupdone · 13/07/2025 18:00

I don’t like beards, it hides facial expressions. He’s not too old for hair transplants, look on the web, you can see many famous men.
He could for a scalp reduction.

Seriously? Actually thinking he’s looking the best he has done in years - I mean, the polo the other day 🥵

Hot flushes 😄

Vivienne1000 · 13/07/2025 17:58

I think his priority is his wife, children and the small matter of being our future. king. I think he looks great. I wonder if you posted your pic and asked for advice, you would welcome the same unkind comments?

I would say it’s too late for a hair transplant.
Maybe he went on meds / used Minoxidil in his youth but it didn’t work.
He is kind of stuck but I don’t think it looks too bad.

Applesonthelawn · 13/07/2025 17:54

A bit of hair loss on a bloke is nothing when he's tall, slim, fit, good looking - if anything I think he'd look less attractive.

OtherS · 13/07/2025 17:51

I think he's definitely missed the boat, and he'd certainly be viciously mocked. Which is a shame, I feel bad for guys who have to choose between balding and ridicule. I don't think women get such a hard time with surgery, unless they go completely mad with it. Though if Kate suddenly appeared with a DD cup there might be some comments.

Maybe if he'd done it when he first started thinning but he's so much in the public eye it would have been noticed. Plus I think there's regular periods when it needs redoing when he'd have to hide his hairline, though I'm not sure. But I always assume that's why some celeb men are suddenly very attached to baseball caps for a few weeks, and William could hardly do that when on formal duties. Besides, he looks fine and his wife doesn't seem to mind so I can't imagine he much cares. And he's setting an example to other guys that balding is nothing to be embarrassed about.

FrodoBiggins · 13/07/2025 17:49

He looks quite hot here, maybe he should just get more hats

steff13 · 13/07/2025 17:49

I think he should shave it and grow a beard. He'd look great.

Teado · 13/07/2025 17:47

He used to look awkward and petulant when he was in his thirties, but he’s chilled now and the beard helps. He doesn’t need tweaks, he looks like a tall, fairly handsome middle-aged man which is exactly what he is. He’ll never look like he did in 2005 but none of us will.

TequilaNights · 13/07/2025 17:46

Or maybe.. he is happy how he is!?

PopeJoan2 · 13/07/2025 17:41

TheOriginalEmu · 13/07/2025 16:48

Maybe someone could castrate Andrew whist they’re about it.

Do they do that in Turkey too?

5128gap · 13/07/2025 17:41

I don't suppose he cares. Its not like he needs pretty privilege to open doors, attract his partner of choice and get the best of everything handed to him.

PopeJoan2 · 13/07/2025 17:40

NoraLuka · 13/07/2025 16:41

Mohamed Salah had one and wasn’t ridiculed, if it was done well (and I’m sure Prince William could afford the best!) he’d probably be ok.

Then again by staying as he is he’s saying it’s fine to be bald which is a good thing for all the other bald guys out there.

And women

legolegoeverywhereandnotadroptodrink · 13/07/2025 17:40

He could easily grow the sides and
have a comb over like his dad

legolegoeverywhereandnotadroptodrink · 13/07/2025 17:38

No. It’s totally normal to have a bald head

NotsosunnyShropshire · 13/07/2025 17:36

Yeah, look how that worked out for Harry.

😂

SunflowersInRain · 13/07/2025 17:36

I think you're being judgemental and there's no need for it.

Everyday I see posts from women about men saying they should wear their hair a certain way, wear makeup/no makeup/have a boob job whatever the fuck and there is quite rightly outrage but it's completely fine to belittle a man? Because he has less hair than he once had?

Fucking hell, I'd rather have a caring, loving husband if it meant he had less hair than 20 years ago. My husband is thinning at the top, do I give a shit? No because I love him and how he is as a person. Thats what makes him gorgeous. Not his fucking hair.

So yes YABVU. Get a grip.

AnAlpacaForChristmasPleaseSanta · 13/07/2025 17:34

He looks just like his Uncle Edward to me.

Moveoverdarlin · 13/07/2025 17:34

Good grief no. Just no. A hair transplant for the future King? Whatever next? Fake tits for Camilla and Ozempic for Fergie? Mike Tyndall could get some Turkey teeth and Kate could get the kids names tattooed on her inner wrist.
