Prince William Debuts Rather Short New Haircut (PHOTOS)

The Duke of Cambridge is embracing his baldness.
|

It's usually Kate Middleton's hair that has us all squealing with delight, but for once, it's Prince William's 'do that is getting our attention.

It seems as though after years and years of sporting the same hairstyle, the Duke of Cambridge has finally chopped his locks.

*GASP!*

Okay, so it's not entirely dramatic, but it's still a different look nonetheless.

The eldest son of Charles, Prince of Wales, and Diana, Princess of Wales, debuted the clean and dapper chop at a wreath-laying ceremony at the Sandringham War Memorial Cross in Norfolk, England on Sunday, which also saw the Duchess of Cambridge and Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, in attendance.

Deemed the "dad haircut" by Twitter, the father-of-two definitely rocked the fresh style beside wife, Kate, who donned a black turtleneck and Michael Kors Collection suit.

And we're sure brother, Harry, had something to say about the new 'do. Because in classic sibling rivalry form, William's hair has always served as a punchline for the younger prince's jokes.

Finally, William is embracing his baldness. And hey, we love him for that!
