A Royal Mistake? See Why Everyone Is Talking About "Prince Hairy"

Written by Published

Prince Harry's new headshot has caused quite a stir.

The photo, featured on the website of mental health firm BetterUp, showcases the 38-year-old royal with a mysteriously dark and thick head of hair. As the company's chief impact officer, Harry is described as a "humanitarian, military veteran, mental wellness advocate, and environmentalist" in his biography alongside the picture. However, recent photos and videos of the Duke of Sussex reveal a much thinner and brighter ginger hair than what is depicted in his leadership team snap.

In his bombshell memoir "Spare," Harry took a jab at his brother's progressive hair loss, referring to Prince William's balding pate as "alarming" and "more advanced than mine." This comment did not go unnoticed by royal watchers on social media. One user on X, formerly known as Twitter, sniped, "Prince Harry's new picture on BetterUp does little to deflect from the fact that he's balding, badly." The user continued, criticizing Harry for making fun of his brother's hair loss while refusing to accept his own. They stated, "His brother accepted his hair loss with dignity, despite his brother's jokes at his expense. Harry now looks like the fool, again, for refusing to accept that he's not 25 anymore and needs a different haircut that works with his hair loss."

Another user commented on the irony of the situation, saying, "He was so nasty to Wills and now it's come back around..." Others remarked that Harry is in denial about his appearance and other aspects of his life. One user humorously compared Harry's filtered headshot to seeing someone without filters in a grocery store, saying, "It's hilarious when people do this, eyes made bigger and bluer, skin flawless, hair filled in. Then you see them in Tesco without the filters." Another user quipped, "Why is he Khloe Kardashianing himself?" on X.

The discrepancy between Prince Harry's headshot and his recent appearances has left many questioning the authenticity of the photo. While some may argue that it is simply a matter of lighting or styling, others believe that Harry's attempt to conceal his hair loss is evident. Regardless of the reason, it is clear that the topic of Prince Harry's hair has become a subject of fascination and debate among royal watchers and social media users alike.
