Hair To The Throne

‘BREAKING up is hard to do, especially when you have to fork out $1,000 a month to have your ex-wife’s unwanted hair removed by laser, but it is much harder to have someone you love taken from you.

Harry won gutted at losing another line-out

And seven and a half years after the Queen of its – and, let’s face it, all of our – Hearts was cruelly taken, Hello! still bears the scars as if it were yesterday.

Luckily, however, Prince Harry has taken up where his mother left off, not by throwing himself down the stairs but by joining the fight against AIDS in Africa.

Not for Harry the excesses of Diane Richie – his own hair cut cost just 40p, courtesy of a roadside barber in Lesotho’s capital, Maseru.

[Lionel Richie, please note: Mutuse ‘The Blade’ Motisili also does women’s hair, with prices starting at an introductory 75p for a basic wash and dry.]

Helping orphans in Africa may not gel with Harry’s image as a playboy prince, but Hello! knows that, like his mum, he’s a more complex character than most give him credit for.

‘Of course, like most men of his age, he enjoys clubbing in the company of pretty girls,’ it says.

‘But facing two months in one of the most barren regions in Africa, it was not surprising he wanted to let his hair down beforehand.’

Particularly as The Blade was just about to get hold of it.’
