Though the prince has been experiencing hair loss, he still has a good sense of humour about it. Last fall, he made news for joking about balding while speaking to a barber at a royal event. "I don’t have much hair, I can’t give you much business," William said to him.

Even Kate Middleton quipped about the duke's hair loss during their royal visit to Australia in 2014. Farmer Lyn Crejan recalled showing the royal couple a bunch of alpaca wool, which happened to be the same color as William's hair. "The Prince was interested in the alpaca and as I showed it to them, the [duchess] said he should put it on his head," Crejan said, according to E!. "She said, 'You need it more than me,' and pointed to his head and he laughed."

Haircut aside, the Duke of Cambridge met with young patients at the hospital today, along with their families and staff to celebrate the success of Step Into Health, a program that helps veterans find employment in the National Health Service. The organization is also a part of The Royal Foundation, which William, Prince Harry, and Kate Middleton oversee.
