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?

Shall we get the princess of wales some new tits too while we’re bodymodding the royals ?

This. How very vacuous to focus on baldness … perhaps he does however have charisma and a brain and will make a fabulous king. Who cares what state his hair is in?

I wonder why more men don’t have hair transplants to be honest. Looking around at all the women who have had work done. I’m not saying anyone should have work done, but everywhere you look women are walking around full of plastic, fake nails, fake hair, lip filler, fake tan, false eyelashes etc etc. yet the men are not doing anything.

I should caveat that I look like a Rottweiler that’s had a hard paper round. But must be tough when your job/title stops even the thought of choice.

Agree shaving would be better.

That first sentence had cackling with laughter like the mad woman I am

I imagine if he did you'll get all these people complaining he's spending too much money on cosmetic stuff. He can never do any right.

“I think William was gorgeous in his late teens and as a very young man. Like a male version of his mother. Then he lost his hair and it did impact negatively on his looks…..”
I agree @IcedPurple

I saw a tweet a while ago that said Diana took her genes back when William started acting like his father (i.e. when the cheating rumours started).

I don't give a fig about the royals either way but that made me snort.

And you think the men are the ones getting it wrong?!?

Whatthebarnacles · 14/07/2025 22:27

Yabu IMO. Any woman who says a man "should" do something about their balding hair, or anything of their natural appearance for that matter, wouldn't like it if a thread of men/people started publicly suggesting that they "should" dye their greys, wax their eyebrows, wear more make up to hide their natural skin etc. In fact, I'm pretty sure they would be beyond livid.

If he wants to he can. If he doesn't, he's doesn't have to. Nor "should" he have to.

Talk about taking a step back from the progression of not having to conform to societal expectations when it comes to appearance.

He’s fine as he is. I think he’s got very handsome as he’s got older.

FortheloveofCheesus · 14/07/2025 22:44

FFS why? Lots of men lose their hair. It's normal. We need to stop being obsessed with such a narrow range of what it means to look good. We don't have to fixate on what we look like at 25 and try and preserve it for all eternity. He's a 43 year old father of three with a pretty full on job and a wife who's only recently recovered from cancer. He's doing fine, who gives a shit about his hair.

FortheloveofCheesus · 14/07/2025 22:46

Methinks the answer is in fact that the ladies don't need to bother with the fake hair and the lip filler. I overheard DH and 3 other blokes discussing this the other day. They are all late thirties.... all thought the filled lips etc look was a bit nasty

Thanks to this thread I’m now addicted to these before and after hair videos

Really? Who gives a flying fig. Next you'll all be wanting k to have a boob job and Harry to get rid of that awful growth that is attached to him.

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.

😂🤣

Ladybyrd · 15/07/2025 02:00

That ship has sailed. He’d look daft if he did it now. I’m quite surprised Harry hasn’t.

Whatinthedoopla · 15/07/2025 05:11

The royals don't really get anything done. I think the most is Botox? Also, Princess Catherine's dad has great hair, and it looks like her eldest has inherited his hair

Because if you have one done, you then need to take finasteride for life. With the risk of major side effects. Otherwise, you're back at square one within a few years...its not just as simple as transplanted some hair follicles and job done for life.

mjf981 · 15/07/2025 06:17

What a nasty thread.

If I were him, I'd shave the sides very short, and keep the facial hair. But I'm not. I think he looks great as is anyway. And an excellent example for younger males that baldness can be embraced. More power to him I say.

Laurmolonlabe · 15/07/2025 08:38

If you are going to get a hair transplant, it's like colouring your hair - you have to do it before it becomes obvious that's what you've done.
Also William is the heir apparent to the throne of a first world nation, I don't really think he needs to enhance his attractiveness.

DryDay · 15/07/2025 08:44

No. He’s an excellent poster boy for men who would no more go to Turkey on a vanity project than fly to the moon and, similarly, would not shave all their hair off like a nightclub bouncer.

Genetic pattern hair loss affects so many men and women and I love that he accepts his fate with grace.

Good for him.

TweedleDumbAndTweedleDeeeeeeeee · 15/07/2025 09:35

Why because you say so? William looks fine just as he is.

BigAnne · 15/07/2025 09:45

Isitreallysohard · 13/07/2025 23:51

He needs to shave it all off then it will look OK. He should probably get a nose job too. He was so handsome when he was younger, I don't know what happened to him! Unfortunately the royal genes took over 😕

PW is right up there on the elite ladder. He wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire, that's if he knew you even existed. Which of course he doesn't. PW's best attribute is his confidence. And that's coming from a staunch republican.

I prefer bald men!

As they like to say, it's a solar panel for a sex machine 😂

upandleftthenright · 13/07/2025 16:37

I’m watching too which is what prompted my post. I just think, bless you as I bet you must think about it.

The Royal men are quite hair challenged

Why would he think about it?
You are assuming men hate being bald… my ex husband looked better without hair than with… he hated his hair.

I think this is what is wrong with society today… people going off and having procedures done.

what is it with people wanting teeth that makes snow look yellow? It’s ridiculous… hair implants, boob, bum…. It’s ridiculous … and don’t even get me started on the awful fake tans and eye lashes women feel the need to have these days!
