Prince William jokes about his balding head as he compliments fan's hair color during sporting engagement

WEST MIDLANDS, ENGLAND: Prince William mocked his thinning hair during his visit to the West Midlands, England, on Tuesday, March 11.

The 42-year-old met a number of local rsidents and students while checking out a referee training course at Sporting Khalsa FC in Willenhall as part of the Football Association's goal to give jobs to 1,000 people from Black, Asian and mixed heritage backgrounds, as reported by PEOPLE.

A woman sporting red hair particularly caught William’s attention as he told her, “Look at your hair! It's fantastic. Wish I had hair like that. I know, I've not a chance.”

The video of the interaction has now gone viral on social media, with people showering him with love.

Netizens call Prince William ‘very charismatic’

“I love how William is so at ease with his own skin that he can joke about his hair and no awkwardness there,” a fan of the royal member said.

“People who are self-deprecating are very likable. Makes people feel at ease,” another fan commented.

The third one wrote, “What a cute video. He is so loved. And he loves back.”

A user shared, “William is very charismatic, he's the People's Prince.”

“He has his mom's way with people. Thankfully that and her looks are all he got,” the second one said.

“Aw he is just so funny 😂😂 I love that he made sure the lady had the selfie! Simply the best,” a tweet read.

Another tweet read, “Goodwill:  A universal kindness, favor and peace extended to all people, encouraging forgiveness, compassion and harmony.  ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ I'm very proud of you, good William.”

Prince William has joked about his hair in the past

However, this was not the first time Prince William made a joke about himself and his hair.

In 2023, he joked about his hair while speaking about his environmental award, the Earthshot Prize. He said, as per The New York Post, “I don’t know if you guys have heard about the Earthshot Prize, but it’s an initiative I started about two years ago now — but it’s been about four years in the making.”

“I had hair when it started. It’s designed as an environmental prize tackling the world’s greatest environmental problems,” the father-of-three added.

Prince William speaks about power of representation

Meanwhile, during his Tuesday address, the royal heir said, as per The Mirror, “We spoke about women in football, which I think is definitely growing, and how different the women’s game is to the men’s in terms of it being a bit more of a family event and a bit more supportive, and spoke about diversity events like this and how important it is that you can see it and believe it.”

“We want to be able to see people who are watching football at home or on the sidelines and think ‘that could be me’. Without events like this where you build representation, that won’t happen,” he added.
