Prince William has joked
about his lack of hair as he awarded Martin Samuel, a film stylist, an MBE for
his work.
Martin, who has been nominated
for three Oscars during his career, has helped to create iconic film looks,
including Johnny Depp’s Captain Jack Sparrow, David Bowie’s red-and-blonde
style from The Man Who Fell to Earth and Madonna’s character of Eva
in Evita. Speaking to PA after being awarded the honour, Martin shared:
“And then [the Duke] said, ‘Well I don’t really have much hair to speak
of’, and I said, ‘but your wife does have beautiful hair’, so he said, ‘I’ll
tell her that’.”
William has always had a good
humour about his hair, or rather lack thereof, and back in 2019 during a visit
to a barbershop, he joked about his usual hair routine.
“I don’t need a haircut anymore;
I just take a razor to it!” he teased.
During her trip to Copenhagen
earlier this year, the Duchess of Cambridge stunned her fans when
she debuted a brand-new style and it suited her perfectly.
The royal wore her hair parted
slightly to the side while visiting a university, which aims to promote the
mental wellbeing of and relationships between children and their parents.
Jason Collier, A-list stylist
and Bblonde Brand Educator, shared: “It was so nice to see The Duchess of
Cambridge with a more relaxed look, and it really suits her.
“To achieve this look,
Kate’s locks will have blow-dried with a large paddle brush, smoothing it
through the mid-lengths, before curving it out at the ends. This is a great way
to smooth the hair, while holding onto natural body and volume.”
Jason also revealed some tips
for achieving Kate’s straightened style: “Any frizz and flyaways will be
tamed with a smoothing spray, which also increases manageability, and makes
sure strand stay in place all day,” he explained.
