Privacy Notice Kate Middleton has shared her relatable struggle with getting daughter Princess Charlotte ready – and it’s something that affects Prince William too. The 42 year old Duchess recently resumed public duties following her cancer treatment. Prince William, also 42, had been a supportive husband, clearing his diary to help care for Kate and their children. But getting the royal children ready, especially Charlotte, isn’t easy. It’s all down to her hair, says Kate.

During a visit to Cumbria in 2019, Kate confessed that she finds it tricky to style Princess Charlotte’s hair. She told a young girl who had given her flowers: “I love your plaits. They are so pretty. Who’s done those, who’s done your plaits?” Then she admitted: “I tried to do a plait with Charlotte this morning, it didn’t work very well.” Prince William has also spoken about the challenges of doing their daughter’s hair. He shared this during a chat with a dad in Blackpool in 2019. Meanwhile, fans of The Prince of Wales and his brother, The Duke of Sussex, have been questioning why William and Harry have not considered making an improvement to their hairstyles. A royal fan on Reddit posed the question: “Is there a reason why balding Prince William and Prince Harry didn’t get hair implants?” and numerous users have joined the discussion, commenting about how both men are visibly losing their hair. One commented specifically about Prince William’s hair, writing: “I was just thinking about this today – I think it is too late, he needed to do it as soon as it started,” while another joked: “I’m choosing to believe you are Kate, and you are innocently asking the worst possible question for when William’s aides come reading here in a couple of hours.”

A third added: “I know the Royal Family would have better access to good cosmetic surgeons/hair transplant specialists, but I have a coworker who’s on his 3rd set of hair transplants in 10 years. He gets them, has hair for like a year, they start failing, he wears hats for 2-3 years…repeat x3. And I think that if William was interested in trying transplants, the time to do it was 10 years ago. Now it would just be too obvious and people would never shut up about it.” On the subject of both brothers’ receding hairlines, another posted a wise response: “I would guess that being watched so closely makes getting something like that more difficult. Just going with genetics and life or only doing something minor probably avoids dealing with another facet of negative press. Plus, I would imagine the upkeep would get to be a lot, especially having to always stay ahead of it. While you’d hope they’d get it done well, it seems that a lot of solutions are obviously easily spotted, which would get them into bad press again.”Story SavedYou can find this story in  My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
