And now that the Prince of Wales has settled down with his wife, Princess Catherine, and their three gorgeous children, interest in him has only grown.

Despite his wealth and happy home life, things aren’t always perfect though, as he reveals below…

Prince William named as World’s Sexiest Bald Man

Prince William is adding an extra not-so-royal to his name.

Just days after Princess Catherine admitted she found her husbands beard to be pretty hot, his appearance is making headlines again.

For the second year in a row, the royal has topped the list for the World’s Sexiest Bald Man.

The British royal beat other hairless hotties including Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, Vin Diesel and Jason Statham for the no. 1 spot.

Digital PR agency Reboot Online, who is responsible for the ranking, shared that William landed a near perfect score of 9.86 out of 10 possible points against their criteria.

The agency analyses traits like “cranial shine factor” (how shiny the person’s head is), “voice attractiveness,” and something called “golden ratio facial proximity,” which measures the symmetry of one’s facial features to pick their winner.

Global search interest is also taken into consideration, which may have helped William take the crown as his rugged new beard started to dominate the royal news cycle.

Either way, it seems like a much less controversial choice than People magazine naming John Krasinski as their Sexiest Man Alive for 2024!

Speaking on his tour of South Africa in Cape Town on Nov. 7, the Prince of Wales has opened up about the “brutal” toll the past year has had on him.

“It’s been dreadful,” Prince William admitted. “It’s probably been the hardest year in my life.”

“But I’m so proud of my wife, I’m proud of my father, for handling the things that they have done,” William said. “But from a personal family point of view, it’s been, yeah, it’s been brutal.”

The candid comments came as he neared the end of his four-day visit to host the 2024 Earthshot Prize awards ceremony.

It was a trip that was only made possible thanks to Kate successfully finishing her chemotherapy treatment, which she announced in early September.

The couple’s main priority during this time has been keeping things as normal as possible for their three children, Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and 6-year-old Prince Louis.

“So, trying to get through everything else and keep everything on track has been really difficult,” William explained.

Though he was flying solo, the Princess of Wales was “doing well” William confirmed.

After being told he “looked relaxed”, William admitted it had been tough to keep up the brave face.

“I couldn’t be less relaxed this year, so it’s very interesting you’re all seeing that,” he said.

“But it’s more a case of just crack on and you’ve got to keep going. I enjoy my work and I enjoy pacing myself and keeping sure that I have got time for my family, too.”

“I’m really pleased with the progress we’ve made so far,” William said.

“We’ve built something from scratch. It’s a global environmental prize. It takes time, it takes a lot of effort. It takes a lot of balancing to get it right.
