Prince William's new haircut has the internet confused

His wife Kate Middleton is usually the one who comes under scrutiny when debuting new hair, but Prince William was the one under the spotlight after showing off a new look in London earlier this week.

The Duke of Cambridge was his usual charming self visiting sick patients at Evelina’s Children’s Hospital, but Twitter soon noticed there was something different about the dad.

Wills has always been a good sport about his hairline, joking with stylist Taz Kabria at an event last September, reportedly saying he wouldn’t be much of a profitable client.

“I don’t have much hair, I can’t give you much business,” he said.

And now Prince William has decided to have a bit of a makeover - although his latest look has left the internet divided.

Some were quick to compliment the soon to be dad-of-three on his new style.

However some thought he’d taken too much off.

And some thought he was straddling the fine line between a shaved head and a closely cropped 'do.

Celebrity hair stylist Joe Mills says Wills' new look is a sign he's confident in himself.

“I think him just literally going I’m going to crop my hair off is a really strong statement, a very confident statement," Joe told the Independent.

“If you are photographed and in the public eye to that degree it’s very, very hard to look great all the time.

“I think it suits him, I think he looks great with it.”
