Prince Harry might be tearing his hair out as his new life in the U.S. fails to make him happy – but at least he's been given a luxurious new hatch for his work snaps.
The royal has been thinning on top for years amid rumors of a failed hair transplant, but the photo editors at wellness firm BetterUp have made sure he doesn't look follicle challenged, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
Harry seemingly got a new hair look.
The Duke, just 40, said when he joined the mental health tech start-up BetterUp in 2021 that he intended "to help create impact in people's lives."
And he certainly appears to be creating an impact on his balding thatch.
A new photograph has been published on his profile page on the company's website which gives him thick, dark locks.
The snap is at odds with other photographs of Harry that show his hair is much lighter and far thinner on top than the work snap shows.
One royal commentator in the UK said: "He's had a Photoshop hair transplant. Talk about a vanity transplant, bless him."
And recent rumors of strains in his six-year marriage to Meghan Markle, 43, and of his growing desire to build bridges with his family back in the UK, won't be doing much to prevent his thinning crown.
The Duke of Sussex's hair had previously been thinning.
In one of his numerous jibes at his elder brother in his memoir, Spare, he described Prince William's hair loss as "alarming" and "more advanced than mine" despite their two-year age gap.
Experts believe the royal underwent a transplant around 2016 and that it has failed to arrest his thinning locks.
A leading cosmetic surgeon also revealed Harry's hair loss has been accelerated since he moved to the United States with Markle and predicted he would be virtually bald by the age of 50.
But Dr Asim Shahmalak said the Duke of Sussex is balding at a slower rate than William and is 10 years behind his older brother when it comes to hair loss.
Dr Shahmalak said: "The baldness gene is not as strong in Harry but he is still losing his hair quickly. At present most of Harry's hair loss is around the crown area.
Experts believe the royal underwent a transplant around 2016.
"He has a growing bald patch right across his crown and you can also see that his hair is also thinning out towards the front.
"Harry may never be as bald as his brother William. William has been more affected than any of the royal men."
Another hair expert commented: "It’s suspected that Prince Harry got a hair transplant between 2016-2017. The reason for this suspicion is that Harry’s hair looked much fuller in 2017, with his receding hairline being much more forward than before. All of this suggests he opted for some hair loss treatment – and a hair transplant is the one that offers the best chance of success.

Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, left the UK for America.
"Since then, Harry’s hair has thinned out a little more, with his crown hair loss becoming more noticeable (particularly thanks to the constant cameras).
"This isn’t entirely surprising even if he got a hair transplant, as he likely targeted the temples with his hair transplant in 2016/17, but then later experienced more hair loss at the crown, which is part of his genes."
