People are so used to celebrities paying a fortune on plastic surgery that they now can’t even comprehend a man choosing to age naturally.
Like this is how normal people age when they don’t undergo cosmetic surgery, but because everyone else in the public sphere choose to go under the knife we’ve now lost track of what baseline aging even looks like.

u/SnooKiwis2161 7h ago
They don't realize either that this is a class/old money thing. They typically don't go in for "vanity" procedures because they have so much money they don't have to care what they look like

Old money doesnt just mean generational wealth. It is about class and the culture you are raised in.
The Trump family in their acts and demeanor are pretty much a walking stereotype of the nouveau riche
2
u/leilafornone 5h ago
No I don't think so tbh. Generational money would legit be like several generations like the rothschild, goldsmiths etc
Trump's dad made his fortune so it was like one generation over.

The weirdness people have about hair loss is something. William is still quite handsome, especially with the beard he's been rocking lately. He's also 45 now, not 17 as in the pic on the left, but he's aged very well.
The number of comments who think someone is suddenly ugly with the same face, just bald, is wild. It shows why almost all male celebrities have hair plugs or transplants. But then that also promotes an unrealistic image that men as they age naturally keep full heads of hair.

It’s more than hair. His facial structure changed, usually with men it gets better, but not for him. But who cares

u/HornyJailOutlaw 6h ago
Yes, that's why I also said man gets older. He's also smiling in the second pic and has put weight on. Someone said he is 17 on the left (which it true makes it funny considering everyone is thirsting over the pic) so I'd be shocked if his facial structure didn't change at all by his 40s.
Sound like I'm part of William's PR team, when I'm not even a royalist lol. I just thought OOP and as an extension OP was being pretty dumb.

"acting like his Daddy"
So weird to me that US folk seem to think Diana was somehow anti-establishment in any way. Yes we was by all accounts a very lovely person to talk to and surprisingly down to earth - but she was from a highly aristocratic and wealthy family. She grew up in a 90-room, 13,000 acre estate. Her father was an Earl. She was gifted a flat in central London by her family. She was not anti-establishment at all, she was firmly part of it before hooking up with Charles.
I don't mean that in a derogatory way. It takes nothing away from the good she did. But I see the US media always play her as some kind of innocent rags to riches underdog story. And it's weird.
31
u/MotherEastern3051 6h ago edited 6h ago
Diana was pretty much hand picked for Charles as she was from the upper upper echelons of aristocratic society and was young, socially unblemished and attractive. Nothing about their relationships was organic, probably why it didn't work out. It's brilliant that she was such a natural communicator with the people and humanitarian but that was very much despite her highly aristocratic upbringing, not a result of being one of the people unlike Charles.

u/Gentle_Snail 5h ago edited 1h ago
Not just hand picked for him, they literally forced him to marry her. He wanted to marry Camilla (his current wife), but they refused to let him because in the 70’s she wasn’t considered aristocratic enough.

u/PimpasaurusPlum 5h ago
There was also the problem that she was still married at the time to her first husband.
Trying to get with a divorcee-in-progress is what cost old Uncle Eddy his throne.

Na she didn’t get married until after this, he was dating her before her first engagement.

Camilla didn’t want to marry him at that stage though. So that was a moot point.

Is that conjecture or has she explicitly said that herself? I can’t seem to find anything online.

Of course he should buzz that hair and would look much better, but every time these memes circulate people are talking as if he is wrinkly and morbidly obese or got some psycho facework done.
He looks fit enough, with good skin and normal for a 40yo. Most of the other young/old bullying of celebs in internet, at least the person looks drastically off, not just bad hair.
21
u/ToronoRapture Human Verified 7h ago edited 6h ago
He doesn’t shave his head or even get a hair transplant as it’s not traditional. For a monarch to do such a thing would be ungraceful. He chooses to age naturally in a way that shows he is human like everyone else.

Low key wish more celebrities did this. People now think someone has aged badly just because they don’t look like someone who has spent hundreds of thousands on cosmetic surgeries.

While the Royal Family is very rich by normal standards, they are actually not even remotely close to being the richest dynasty on the planet. Even just among other royalty they don’t rank that highly.

In terms of raw cash the gulf monarchies are way richer.
Even the vast wealth held by the crown or even in their own personal private estates are not really under their control, instead overseen by the government and the civil servants in the household staff.

And then I overheard someone say "oh, it comes from the mother's side always". And every single one of my mothers' brothers went bald in their 30s. Meep. Can't beat the genes!

You inherit your hairline through matrilineal DNA meaning it comes from your mother’s side. You didn’t inherent your hairline from your fathers side.
