Prince William joked about wanting red hair during his visit to the West Midlands, England. The Prince of Wales, known for frequently cracking jokes about his thinning hair, shared a lighthearted moment with people and made them laugh.
The Football Association, which Prince William supports as a patron, conducted a referee training course at Sporting Khalsa FC in Willenhall to recruit 1,000 people from Black, Asian, and mixed heritage backgrounds to serve as referees.
Students and locals flocked to greet Prince William, where he was drawn to one woman's bright red hair. Mesmerised, he said, "Look at your hair! It's fantastic" before bursting into laughter. "Wish I had hair like that. I know, I've not a chance," he added with a laugh.

This was not the first time Prince William made a self-deprecating joke about his hair. In 2020, addressing the crowd during the launch of his environmental award, the Earthshot Prize, he said, "I started this initiative about two years ago. Now, although it's been about four years in the making, I 'had hair' when it started."
In 2017, when Prince William was in a homeless charity-run cafe, he cracked a joke with Taz Kabria, the hairstylist next door, saying, "I don't have much hair, I can't give you much business."
