Prince Harry was spotted sharing a warm moment at the Invictus Games finals, planting a kiss on the head of a volleyball player.
The Duke of Sussex was on the sidelines in Vancouver, Canada, on Saturday, watching the intense showdown between Brazil and Nigeria.
He was also seen enthusiastically high-fiving young fans at the event, bringing them obvious joy.
Later, Harry awarded gold medals to Brazil’s victorious team at the Vancouver Convention Centre.
Brazil secured their win in straight sets, and some of the players were so overwhelmed with emotion that they couldn’t hold back their tears as they received their medals.
Meanwhile, Harry, now 40, who once joked about his brother Prince William’s “alarming baldness,” appears to be facing his own hair loss struggles — as seen in our photos.
Earlier this week, he took part in a traditional blanket ceremony in Canada.
The honour was bestowed upon him during his visit to the Tsleil-Waututh Nation in British Columbia.
This sacred ritual represents both protection and respect, and Harry described the experience as “profoundly moving.”
Dr. Shahmalak believes that the only permanent fix for Prince Harry’s ongoing hair loss is a hair transplant.
According to him, “He could fully restore his crown with an FUE (follicular unit transplantation) procedure like Wayne Rooney or Calum Best, where hair is taken from the back and sides of the scalp and then implanted into the thinning areas.”
Another option for Prince Harry would be using a medication like Propecia, which can slow down the progression of baldness, though it won’t actually regrow lost hair. However, about 2% of men who take Propecia report experiencing a decrease in libido, which discourages many from using the treatment.
Dr. Shahmalak pointed out that Harry’s hair loss is largely due to a strong hereditary trait in the royal family, similar to what his grandfather Prince Philip, father Prince Charles, and brother Prince William have experienced.
He also suggested that Prince Harry might have grown out his beard as a way to balance out the hair thinning on his head.
“It is very common for men who are thinning on top to grow a beard,” he explains. “It does detract a little from the hair loss in the scalp. Beards are also a sign of virility, and men are often reassured by the fact that while they may be losing hair on top, it still grows well in other parts of their body.”
