Hair to the Throne

With the highly publicized Royal Wedding of Prince William to his longtime girlfriend Catherine Middleton, the couple became the spotlight of the entire world.  With an estimated 2 billion people tuning into the nuptials, it was an event of a lifetime.  With features in any and every gossip magazine and entertainment show, the couple garnered an unprecedented amount of media attention.

The actual ceremony took place in Westminster Abbey and was quite memorable.  From Catherine’s flawless dress to Pippa Middleton’s (Catherine’s sister) impeccable physique, everything about the event was delightfully superb.  One thing though that stood out to many for all the wrong reasons, was the ongoing thinning of Prince William’s hair.

Although he is still in the early stages of recession, it is going at quite an accelerated rate for someone his age (he recently just turned 29 in June).  He first showed signs of hair loss four years ago, when a picture was taken of him exiting a vehicle.  This shocked many because just a few years sooner he was photographed with a thick, luscious head of hair.  His hair loss has even caused some to question whether or not it may be negatively influencing his overall appeal.

To the future heir to the throne, this is something he must take into serious consideration because there are various innovative techniques available to combat the seemingly inevitable.  Prince William’s recent struggles with hair loss shows that even the Royal Family experiences the same issues many individuals deal with on a daily basis.
