'Leave the man alone!' This Morning viewers defend Prince William after Rob Lowe poked fun at his 'traumatic' hair loss - and joke 'the crown will cover it anyway'

​

"This Morning viewers leapt to Prince William's defence after he was mocked by Rob Lowe in an interview

The American actor, 55, joked it had been 'traumatic' to watch the 36-year-old royal lose his hair."

I kind of understand I am dreading going bald. It is hard enough going grey at 35 and I can’t get my hair dyed because of the nerve pain medication I’m on as the dye won’t take. If I was Prince William I would have done everything possible to avoid going bald even a hair transplant. I don’t think it will be long before Prince Harry goes bald now too.

Rob Lowe has to look good for his job so it isn’t just vanity.

Please, Please don't wander off leaving Queen Elizabeth alone while you are peering down a Canon barrel .

Hopefully he won’t walk in front of Her Majesty this time.

How to master grey hair and become a silver fox​

"Getting grey hair isn’t easy, but it needn’t be miserable. So the GQ Dr and grooming team have joined forces to help you go grey gracefully, whatever your hair type...

With the right styling, going grey can be bloody cool. Think George Clooney, Richard Gear, or Sean Connery. Instead of fighting the natural change, embrace it and wear it with a confidence that everyone will find attractive."

Amazing greys! Is it cool to be salt or pepper?

Don’t underestimate the silver foxes! Nature’s highlights later on. I love Sir Paul’s look, now. There’s nothing more aging than the wrong hair color as we age. Rob Lowe is a perfect example (too red, too brassy). It’s especially difficult with men because women can play around with make up colors - like Jane Fonda comes to mind. Fab at 81.

Also, I think Prince William is very dashing, he’s got a beautiful shaped head and a great face and smile. So, to me, yes he was fetching as a young man, but he’s much more interesting now.

Viscount faces backlash over his plan to honour the Queen with a 180ft hillside sculpture to rival the Angel of the North, as baffled locals compare it to a TOOTHPICK​

"Lord Devonport, or Terence Kearley, 3rd Viscount Devonport, plans to construct what has been called the Elizabeth Landmark on his Ray Demesne estate near the village of Kirkwhelpington.

But the landmark, estimated to cost up to £1million and which will be more than 180ft high, has left locals baffled with many branding it an 'eyesore' and a 'waste of money.'"

A retired architect and philanthropist, he has spent years regenerating his Ray Demesne estate and believes the structure will boost tourism in the area."

The 'Angel of The North' is a rusty, hideous monstrosity as well.

I've done my part and watched the most recent "royal" made-for-TV movie so I could report on it here. Trust me: Harry & Meghan: Becoming Royal is a huge waste of time. I don't even want to assign a grade for the lame flick and will not be watching tonight. It was a struggle to get through it almost twice since I went to bed before the premiere of the film concluded. If I watch any of these movies in the future, I would probably watch William & Kate again as it is actually a charming story.

Note that HRH Elizabeth is riding sidesaddle. Her seat (jargon for how you sit the horse) is so good you might not notice.

Her hands, shoulders, and head are moving just like the men riding astride! Wow!

As impressive as Ginger Rogers:

Yes, I'm looking for HRH Charlotte on the 2036 Olympic team.

‘I didn't know she was nasty': Trump is shocked to learn of Meghan Markle's criticism of him and surprised to learn he won't meet her on UK state visit - but still insists she'll flourish as a Royal and is a 'very good' princess

Donald Trump hits out at 'nasty' Duchess of Sussex | Daily Mail Online

Not the best press before the royal state visit on Monday. It would have been better to say “I can’t comment on that but I think very highly of her” and leave it at that.

Please remember we cannot get political in our posts about the President and his state visit to the United Kingdom. Thank you.

Meghan is on Maternity Leave. Why would/should she shorten her Maternity Leave for a formal luncheon with a GUEST of The QUEEN??

If it were Kate, no one would expect anything from her.

IMO, people are far too eager to criticize and judge Harry and Meghan. Mind you, further adornment of their home should be from their own monies, IMO.

I agree with you. However the press is going to make a big deal of it if the Duchess of Sussex appears on the balcony at Buckingham Palace for Trooping the Colour just a few days later but didn’t meet him.

You’re right the tax payers should not be paying for Frogmore Cottage renovations it just gives more ammunition to those who hate and troll the Duchess and also the anti-monarchists etc.

Yes, the press need to grow up. Trooping of the Colour will be a family event and even ladies on Mat Leave go to family events. I realize that being on the balcony is semi-'job wise' but its still the family.

I'd imagine they all have a wonderful, yummy lunch just before or just after and she doesn't have to miss that, she is, after all, family. Baby Archie will have another chance to see his clan as well. Not that he cares, too young but its nice for everyone else to be with him.

Whenever I've been to Windsor Castle, the grounds are all very well manicured and the gardens are well established and lovely. Whatever they want as 'extras' should not fall to the taxpayers because they are not exactly sitting in an overgrown pasture. You know what I mean? That's why I think they should pay.

Someone had suggested they are party people and their friends likely want a more 'posh' place to party.
I'd suggest the friends do it at their homes and invite the Sussexs' over there.

Yes, no political statements please and thank you.
