Prince William debuted his new shaven haircut today as he backed the UK's national roll out of a recruitment drive to help veterans find work in the NHS.
As the Duke of Cambridge met ex-servicemen and women at a children's hospital in London, it was quickly apparent he'd taken a spin in the barber's chair before the appointment.

While some men will try to hold on to what little hair they may have left - think comb overs or straggled ponytails tied at the base of a run strip - getting rid of all of it is usually considered the best move.
