Prince William finally shaves off his hair

It's a bold/bald new move

| Updated:

Prince William has got extensive military training, having graduated from the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, and then flown helicopters for the RAF.

And he’s just got the haircut to match the experience!

The Duke of Cambridge debuted his new buzzcut as he made an appearance at a recruitment drive to help veterans find work in the NHS.

Snapped at Evalina’s children’s hospital in London, the heir to the throne met ex-service people to support the programme to reintegrate former military personnel into everyday life.

So far, three former soldiers have secured jobs, including a commodore, a lieutenant colonel and a warrant officer.

And it’s hoped that the new scheme will fill almost every kind of NHS vacancy there is, with salaries ranging from £15,000 to £100,000 a year.

The father-of-two was all smiles as he met young patients at the children’s hospital and discussed the Step into Health scheme.

A spokesperson from Kensington Palace told The Sun: “He is incredibly proud that his project has become such a success.”

And the Step into Health website says: “The NHS recognises the transferable skills and cultural values that armed forces personnel develop when serving and how they are compatible with those required within NHS roles.

“Whether you are interested in catering, maintenance, administration, finance, communications, management, or a role in one of the clinical services, this programme will benefit you.

“The NHS is keen to invite you to explore your transferable skills and the potential training and career opportunities available.”

At this rate, William’s in danger of overtaking his wife Kate Middleton for column inches about his look!

The Duchess of Cambridge is well known for her flowing locks and sense of style – with shops often selling out of items soon after she’s been spotted wearing them.

But we think even she would struggle to pull off this haircut as well as William!
