  • Prince Harry's bald patch grew after marrying Meghan Markle

Baldness seems to be very common among members of the royal family and Prince Harry is no exception.

The Duke of Sussex’s hair has gotten much thinner in recent years. But according to The Sun, Meghan Markle’s husband has also figured out a way how to prevent baldness from getting worse.

A source told the publication Prince Harry visited the Philip Kingsley Trichological Clinic in Mayfair last year and was given a range of treatments that have made his hair look thicker.

“Harry’s visit caused a real stir. This company is so prestigious. It’s one of the best places in the world. It’s got a whole range of different treatment plans. The richest, most famous and well-connected use it. The meeting with Harry went well. It would be very expensive,” the source said.

Last year, a transplant surgeon noticed how Prince Harry’s bald patch has gotten worse since he married Markle. Dr. Asim Shahmalak said that Prince Harry’s baldness is slowly catching up to Prince William. The latter’s bald spot started showing much earlier than Prince Harry.

“You can see a definite acceleration in his male pattern baldness in the last few months. Stress is a factor in hair loss so the struggles of combining his royal duties with marriage and becoming a father for the first time may be a reason why his hair is thinning noticeably across the top of his scalp,” he told The Sun.

The transplant surgeon also said that there is a strong baldness gene running through the whole Windsor family, and it all started with Prince Philip.

Meanwhile, Prince Harry also made headlines this week after it was reported that he and Markle went out on a double date with Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez.

A source told Page Six that the couples got on well with each other. Lopez was also overheard inviting the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to her and Rodriguez’s home in Miami so that they could spend time with each other and with their kids.
