to wonder if Prince William is allowed to shave his head.

He's lost a lot of hair. A lot of men would choose to shave it and be done with it. I wonder if he's allowed to do such a thing as heir to the throne.

yes, he should shave it off.
he has that 'bum-fluff, awful scarce bit of auld hair' thing going on.
he's aging badly and has a droopy nose too, god love him.

monkeyfacegrace · 03/05/2015 11:35

I thought he needed to shave it too.

My Dh went bald at 24 ish. I've never known him with hair. But wispy comb over bits just look a bit crap.

Shave it off Wills!

MovingOnUpMovingOnOut · 03/05/2015 11:36

If I were him then I'd be getting a hair transplant because I don't think he'd suit being completely bald. I think he looks alright other than the misjudged comb over.

I presume he has the money Wink

After spending a bit of time online dating looking at men in that age range I can confirm that William does NOT look noticeably "old for his age".

He looks within the normal range of "how old 32 year olds look".

On TV and in newspapers and in magazines you tend to see a lot more peopel who have been selected entirely or partially because they are more attractive than average, skewing your interpretation of what a 32 yr old should look like.

The inheriting your hairline from your maternal grandfather is a bit of a myth and is considerably more complex than that.

MythicalKings · 03/05/2015 12:10

Shaved heads look thuggish.

Marcipex · 03/05/2015 12:11

I think Harry looks more like Charles every day, except for his colouring, obviously.
Sorry Hal.

tametempo · 03/05/2015 12:12

I think a fair few men in their early 30s have lost some degree of hair but I don't think it's as noticeable as they usually shave it.
Not sure whether William would suit or not.

Tru I should think you've been living somewhere pretty remote Smile

There has been speculation that James Hewitt is Prince Henry's biological father. Can't see it myself and don't particularly care Grin

forago · 03/05/2015 12:21

shave, without a doubt. Doesn't look thugish these days IMO

ShanghaiDiva · 03/05/2015 12:22

Was thinking about this today. Just get rid go the comb over and keep the sides short.

BravingSpring · 03/05/2015 12:25

Harry just takes after his mothers side more, looks just like his Uncle Earl Spencer and his cousin George Edmund McCorquodale, with a touch of the young Duke of Edinburgh from his Dad's side.

hidingfromthem · 03/05/2015 12:25

say what you like but it doesn't change the fact that Harry is the image of James Hewitt.

JohnCusacksWife · 03/05/2015 12:26

I so wish he would. He'd look so much better (& younger).

DowntownFunk · 03/05/2015 14:24

JH and Di didn't meet until a few years after Harry was born.

AyMamita · 03/05/2015 14:53

Really posh boys don't shave their heads when they go bald.

EachandEveryone · 03/05/2015 14:59

Why can't he have a hair transplant? They are all at it

GloGirl · 03/05/2015 15:03

YABU, it's fine as it is.

No, they met 18 months BEFORE Harry was born.

Sansarya · 03/05/2015 15:21

I think JH has said he didn't start an affair with Diana until after Harry was born though. And Harry just happens to look like the Spencer's. Diana's sister has a few kids who look more like him than William does!

MythicalKings · 03/05/2015 15:23

No he isn't, can't see any resemblance other than colouring. His eyes are too close together just like Charles'. And he looks a lot like Philip.

DowntownFunk · 03/05/2015 15:27

Harry and JH are both redheads but their colouring is very different. JH has a darker skin and eyes. Harry has the eyes too close together look that his father and grandfather (Charles and Phillip Grin) both also have.

I think Harry looks like one of his his mother's sisters.

Any stories about JH and Di I've read (not that ive read many) have said the affair was well after Harry was born.

diddl · 03/05/2015 15:29

I think that Harry is similar to Edward

Sansarya · 03/05/2015 15:31

Here is Harry with cousin George when they were kids

And George as an adult basically looks like a chunkier version of Harry!
