Prince William Jokes About Hair Loss While Supporting Diversity in Refereeing

The Prince of Wales made a self-deprecating remark during a visit to promote referee recruitment in underrepresented communities.

Prince William, 42, humorously commented on his thinning hair while meeting a local with striking red hair during a walkabout in Willenhall, England.
The visit was part of his role as patron of the Football Association, supporting a campaign to recruit 1,000 referees from Black, Asian, and mixed heritage backgrounds.
William's self-deprecating jokes about his hairline have been a recurring theme, with similar remarks made during past events, including the launch of his Earthshot Prize in 2020.
The Prince has recently garnered attention for sporting a beard, a look he had not publicly worn since 2008, which reportedly has the approval of his wife, Kate Middleton.
William's public engagements reflect his commitment to important causes, including environmental initiatives and promoting inclusivity in sports.
