Prince Harry Reignites Hair Transplant Rumors After He Admitted He Tries 'Not To Look' At His Hair As Doctors Weigh In
The Spare author is once again fueling speculation about his hair after making a candid joke about his thinning locks during a recent podcast appearance and stepping out with a few changes in his looks.
During a podcast interview with former rugby player Joe Marler ahead of the 2027 Invictus Games, the former working royal joked that he prefers not to think about his thinning hair, saying he tries "not to look at what's happening" on top of his head. The remark immediately sparked rumors that have been around for a while, that he may have undergone a hair transplant in the past, around 2017, when his hair looked fuller. However, he's never publicly confirmed having any cosmetic procedure.
Hair restoration experts have also begun weighing in on Harry's hair journey, as many believe his current appearance means he may still be experiencing male pattern baldness. One specialist, Dr. Abdulaziz Balwi, Medical Director and Co-Founder of Elithair, told Radar Online that if Harry previously underwent a transplant, "the transplanted hair appears to have thinned significantly over time," and that the crown and mid-scalp now show "extensive hair loss."
Another expert told the publication that transplanted hair can continue to thin if surrounding native hairs are lost, and said the dad-of-two could benefit from additional treatment or medication to help preserve what remains. An additional doctor noted that Harry's hair loss appears to have progressed naturally over the years, saying his current look is consistent with advanced male pattern baldness rather than a cosmetic transformation.
Fans Weigh In On Harry's Hair Transformation & Transplant Rumors
Media outlets and social media pages have been recirculating the discussion revolving around the duke's potential hair transplant; therefore, more users are beginning to add their two cents to the matter.
Some users have been very understanding of his hair loss, writing encouraging messages, where some even wrote about how they think he should just let it go and shave his head. Others, however, continued to poke fun at the prince's hairline, though it sounds like they're adding onto his already self-depricating humor.
"Looking after his own appearance should be encouraged," wrote an Instagram user. "It's perfectly acceptable for any person to try to look their best."
"Shave your head, man!" commented another, as an additional user added, "Just go bald."
"Good for him if he did," wrote a user who encouraged a hair transplant for the prince. "It would be an improvement."
