His thinning hairline has long been the subject of ridicule by the media, but it appears that Prince William has finally embraced baldness.
New photos have emerged of the Prince debuting a freshly shaven head, suggesting he has finally taken the plunge.
The photos were taken while the Duke of Cambridge met Sir Hugh Taylor, chairman of Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, in London on January 18.

On safari back in 2014 he had more hair, but a clear receding hairline.
