Well, this is bad. This is going to end up with Duchess Kate making another passive-aggressive comment about Prince William’s bald dome. Apparently, Prince William made a stop by Centrepoint this morning and he said something terrible (!!) about Kate’s hair (!!). First, let me just say: good on William for his continued support of Centrepoint. I actually believe that William legitimately cares about homeless and poor youth, and Centrepoint has always been one of the few charities that he’s consistently supported year after year. I wish this was his “centerpiece” advocacy rather than poaching, you know? No disrespect to anti-poaching efforts, but William isn’t the best spokesperson for your cause. As for William’s insult to Kate’s hair… here it is in context:

Luscious, long and glossy are all adjectives frequently deployed to describe the Duchess of Cambridge’s hair. Now the Duke of Cambridge has added another one – nightmare. William made the joke about Kate’s locks during a private visit to the homeless charity Centrepoint.

Chatting to a trainee hairdresser named Angel during a mentoring session, the second-in-line to the throne quipped that she should try styling Kate’s ‘nightmare hair’.

The moment came during a visit to Centrepoint’s health and wellbeing centre in Soho, central London, for a breakfast. In addition to the encounter with Angel, the Duke also met business volunteers and young homeless people being helped by the charity. While it might not always meet with William’s approval, the Duchess is famous for her glossy locks, which are tended by hairdresser Amanda Cook Tucker.

Ms Cook Tucker was among the entourage that travelled with the Cambridges when they flew to New York earlier this month. She is also widely believed to be responsible for Kate’s increasingly glamorous style, including the succession of chic up-do’s worn in recent months.

The Mail says “glamour” and I say “meh.” Kate is doing more things right than wrong when it comes to her style these days, but as we always say with Kate… the bar is set pretty low. We consider an event a “success” when she manages to avoid a Marilyn Moment. As for William saying Kate has “nightmare hair” – I take this to mean that Kate is simply consumed with her hair, so much so that she spends more time on hair maintenance and hair styling (for those rare public events) than anything else. And William just finds it all so exhausting. It’s actually a typical “take my wife, please!” kind of husband-thing to say. What’s he going to talk about next, her shoe closet?

… The other possibility is that William is also being sort of passive-aggressive and he’s trying to tell us something about Kate’s Wiglet/Weave and that disappearing “scar” right where her extensions would go. What do you think?
