A lighthearted moment with locals
According to a report by Daily Mail, the Prince of Wales attended a referee training course conducted by The Football Association at Sporting Khalsa FC in Willenhall. The initiative aims to recruit 1,000 referees from Black, Asian, and mixed heritage backgrounds.
While engaging with students and locals, Prince William's attention was caught by a woman with striking red hair. Clearly impressed, he exclaimed, "Look at your hair! It’s fantastic," before bursting into laughter. He then quipped, "Wish I had hair like that. I know, I’ve not a chance," adding to the amusement of those around him.

Not the first hair joke
This is not the first time Prince William has poked fun at his receding hairline. Back in 2020, during the launch of his environmental initiative, the Earthshot Prize, he joked, "I started this initiative about two years ago. Now, although it’s been about four years in the making, I ‘had hair’ when it started."
In 2017, while visiting a café run by a homeless charity, he playfully told a neighbouring hairstylist, "I don’t have much hair, I can’t give you much business."
