Prince William stunned onlookers during a recent royal engagement when he made a cheeky joke after being shown a hairdryer. The heir to the throne, known for his quick wit, quipped: "Some of us don't need hairdryers," poking fun at his own receding hairline.
Self-Deprecating Humour on Display
Footage of the moment, shared on X (formerly Twitter), shows William interacting with staff and attendees at Langstane Housing Association in Aberdeen. When the conversation turned to hairdryers, he did not hesitate to joke about his lack of hair. The remark drew laughter from those around him, who were amazed at his willingness to mock himself.
One social media user commented: "Prince William always manages to make the people around him feel good, by joking around. This time, he poked fun at himself for not needing a hairdryer."
Part of the Homewards Initiative
The incident occurred during a visit to Langstane Housing Association, a partner of William's Homewards initiative, which aims to tackle homelessness. The Prince helped staff assemble welcome packs for new tenants, containing household essentials like cleaning supplies. He also moved furniture and engaged in conversation with a vulnerable tenant moving into a flat on King Street.
According to reports, William spent the afternoon touring the facilities and assisting with manual tasks, all while keeping spirits high with light-hearted banter.
Public Reaction
The video clip quickly went viral, with many praising the Prince's humility and sense of humour. Comments included: "Prince William is lovely and adorable," "I love him," and "That's hilarious."
This is not the first time William has charmed the public with his wit. Previously, he earned praise for his response to a young fan who called out to him in the street.
