Prince William’s Latest Dad Joke at the Barbershop Will Go Down in Dad-Joke History

Today, Prince William got an heir cut. (Buh-dum-chhh.)

In all seriousness, the Duke of Cambridge spent his Valentine’s Day making a royal visit to the barbershop (and we hope Kate Middleton gets to have a day of pampering as well…).

The duke visited the Pall Mall Barbers to chat about men’s mental health. He met with Lions Barber Collective, an international organization that works to prevent suicide and provide training for barbers to recognize signs of depression (especially when barbers are often so privy to in-depth conversations with their clients who feel comfortable opening up in the barber chair).

And William couldn’t help but crack a dad joke while he chatted with the group.

“I might come in here when there’s a few less people,” William said in reference to the photographers and press that were accompanying the visit. “Although, I don’t need haircuts anymore, so it’s all right,” he laughed as he gestured to his balding head. “Stick a razor to it.”

Ohh, Wills. We can’t wait ’til George, Charlotte and Louis are old enough to appreciate these gems. (’Til then, keep the dad jokes ’comin.)
