with no hair he'd still be one of the world's most eligible bachelors

The heir to the throne of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, Prince William is just human like everybody else which is evidenced from the fact that his thinning hair and bald spot continue to expand.  Prince William's hair loss shows that the oft repeated statement that you inherit male pattern baldness from your mother's part of the family a load of rubbish because his mother's family, the Spencer's have much more hair than his father's side of the family.

Prince William who is now 28 recently qualified as a helicopter pilot and has been involved in a number of rescue missions.  His hair loss started when he was only 21 years old which is unusually young but not abnormal and in fact some men start to lose their hair in their teens.

If you compare Prince William's hair loss to his Uncle Edward who was completely bald by the age of 30 you can see that things could be considerably worse. At least William has some hair left and this has caused speculation that he is using the hair loss drug from Merck, Propecia. In his case he is not one of the lucky men for whom Propecia actually completely stops male pattern baldness but at least it has slowed it down.

Male pattern baldness is natural and normal but can be extremely distressing for younger men who lose their confidence when they start to see bald patches.  In Prince William's case there really is very little to worry about because after all even if he didn't have a single strand of hair on his head he'd still be one of the world's most eligible bachelors and would have women throwing themselves at him. 

The hair loss drug Propecia has been a lifesaver for men who are not so well connected and therefore required to base their "pulling power" on the way they actually look rather than on that they will one day become King of England!
