Prince William went full Bruce Willis by shaving the hair he was rapidly losing. That’s the only move, in my opinion. Good idea Prince Willis

According to The Sun, the Duke of Cambridge decided to go bald after being constantly teased by his brother Prince Harry about his receding hairline.
A source mentioned that Wills had sought advice from Richard Ward, Kate Middleton’s longtime hairdresser.
However, Ward’s deputy, Joey Wheeler, was said to have given the prince his new haircut in a private session at Kensington Palace.
The veteran stylist reportedly used the “scissor over comb” freehand technique, giving William’s hair a soft finish. (jes/asw)
