Prince Harry joked about his thinning hair during a July 13, 2026 [1] episode of the “Joe Marler Will See You Now” podcast.
The appearance provides a rare, light-hearted glimpse into the personal habits of the Duke of Sussex as he continues to navigate his public image outside the royal fold.
While discussing his daily grooming routine, the prince summarized his process with the phrase, “s--t, shower, shave” [2]. He said there is “nothing really happening on top” [3].
Regarding his hair loss, Prince Harry said, “I try not to look at what's happening” [3]. The conversation shifted to his facial hair, where he said that he trims his beard every five to six days [4].
Reports indicate Prince Harry was in Birmingham, England, on July 10, 2026 [5], shortly before the podcast episode aired. The interview focused on personal habits and grooming, allowing the prince to use humor to address his physical changes.
Throughout the discussion, the prince maintained a candid tone about his routine. He did not elaborate on specific products or professional grooming services, opting instead for the simplified description of his morning habits [2].
““s--t, shower, shave.””
By using self-deprecating humor to address his appearance, Prince Harry is employing a relatable public relations strategy. This approach aims to humanize the royal figure and deflect potential tabloid scrutiny regarding his aging or health by controlling the narrative through a casual, long-form medium like a podcast.
