Royal Fans Gush Over Prince William’s ‘Down To Earth’ Sense Of Humor After He Jokes About His Receding Hairline At Public Appearance: ‘The People’s Prince’

The British are often known for their unique and oftentimes self-deprecating humor.
And Prince William recently proved that he is able to make fun of himself when he made a joke about his receding hairline while visiting the Sporting Khalsa Football Club at Aspray Arena in the West Midlands.
The Prince of Wales, 42, seemed to be in good spirits during the public appearance, which might have something to do with wife Kate Middleton reportedly recovering well from her cancer battle and revealing that she is in remission.
According to reports and social media footage, the father-of-three was drawn to a member of the public with extremely bright red hair during his appearance, and made a comment about her hair color when he made his way to her.
“Your hair! It’s fantastic!” the future king exclaimed, before going on to make a joke about his own hair, or lack thereof. “I wish I had hair like that! You look amazing. I’ve lost the chance,” he joked.
Fan Comments
The entertaining moment was captured on video and shared on social media – and royal fans were understandably delighted with the Prince of Wales' humor and fan interaction.
"I love how William is so at ease with his own skin that he can joke about his hair and no awkwardness there," wrote one fan on a TikTok video of the exchange, as a second compared him to his mom, writing: "Prince William is very humble and down to earth just like the late Princess Diana, amazing human."
"What a cute video. He is so loved. And he loves back'," gushed a third fan, as a fourth said they "love how he treats people." "William is very charismatic, he's the People's Prince," wrote a fifth fan. "He's so charming," praised a sixth. "Such a beautiful human being. Diana would be so proud," added a seventh, followed by three red heart emojis.
