Since declaring the prince “The Sexiest Bald Man in The World” the online community has had mixed reactions to the announcement with some asking if the prince was truly considered bald or balding and if he really deserved the title while his staunch supporters fully backed the decision saying he earned it especially after his younger brother Prince Harry called out his balding as “alarming” in his book “Spare”
