WILLS’ THINNING THATCH

IT’S no picnic bringing up two children with a third on the way. Add to that the pressure of public engagements and it’s small wonder that Prince William’s bald patch has been noticeably growing of late.

The duke has finally decided to embrace his receding hairline after opting for a new tightly cropped hairdo at Sandringham yesterday. His decision to go for a short back and sides prompted upset on social media.

Marijane Green tweeted: ‘Is there any reason Prince William is losing his hair so young? Prince Harry looks like he still has a full head of hair.’

And James Saw asked: ‘Why didn’t he seek medical treatment from the big wigs of dermatology? I’m sure something could be done to arrest the balding and grow some hair.’
