Kate Middleton: Whenever she gets a chance to speak off the cuff, I'm always entertained by her sly, underrated sense of humor. But I am now really, really impressed by her wit and her gently teasing relationship with Prince William. Because apparently, she spoke to what royal fans have been quietly thinking to themselves for a while—wow, William really has lost a lot of his hair, huh?

Last year, BBC Radio 1 star Clara Amfo met William and Kate. This week, she spoke about remembering their back-and-forth banter to HELLO!:

I mean. My husband (who is not balding, for the record) would NEVER enjoy it if I made fun of his hair. In ANY capacity. So that is quite a revelation and speaks to their really, really strong, fun, and self-aware relationship.

Here's a shot of William at the Commonwealth Day service this week:

Look. William is a handsome man. And there is NO shade here. But yea, the hair has definitely evolved since he was a teen.
