Prince Harry’s Bald Spot Covered After Duke Sued UK Tabloid

Prince Harry’s bald spot received a royal cover-up in one magazine cover photo after he sued a U.K. tabloid.

The Duke of Sussex’s bald spot has reportedly doubled in size a year after he married Meghan Markle. In fact, Prince Harry’s huge bald spot was photographed during his South Africa tour with his wife.

However, in US Weekly’s cover photo, Prince Harry’s bald head appeared to be all covered up. According to Tanis Fowler of The Star, the publication that pretends to be nice to the stars did the move after the royal made a legal action against a U.K. tabloid.

"Us Weekly is my favourite gossip rag because [it] pretends to be nice to the stars. This week, they are particularly nice to Prince Harry — making some poor photo department intern clone stamp hair on his rapidly widening bald spot for this cover photo,” Fowler wrote.

She added that the article claims everybody loves Markle and nobody is nursing a simmering grudge on anybody after the royal couple decided to file a lawsuit against Mail on Sunday for publishing Markle’s private letters to her father, Thomas Markle Sr.

“It seems the prudent choice not to upset anybody in the Royal family for awhile,” Fowler added.

According to Dr. Asim Shahmalak, from Manchester’s Crown Clinic, the duke is experiencing a dramatic hair loss just like his big brother Prince William and their dad Prince Charles. Prince Harry’s hair loss has been more evident after he tied the knot with the former “Suits” star and as the couple journeyed into parenthood.

“Fatherhood has definitely not been kind to Prince Harry’s hair,” Dr. Shahmalak told Daily Star. “You can see a definite acceleration in his male pattern baldness in the last few months.”

The expert believes that stress is a factor of hair loss. Prince Harry’s combined duties as a royal, a husband and a first-time dad could be among the reasons of his accelerated baldness. However, the most significant factor is his Windsor gene because a “strong baldness gene” runs in their family.

This has started with Prince Philip and has been passed down to Prince Charles. The Prince of Wales sons Prince William and Prince Harry both experience the same.
