King Charles's full head of hair on new coins and stamps belies HM's sensitivity about his sparsely populated pate. Ditto the coin marking his 70th birthday in 2018.
Is it a royal trait? A coin produced by the Royal Mint to mark William's 40th birthday in June gives him a long-departed wavy fringe. In 2018 he had a £180 buzzcut from Kate's hairdresser Richard Ward, apparently fed-up at the ribbing from brother Harry over his lack of hair. Alas for Harry, he has his own looming baldness, telling a competitor at the Invictus Games this year that his ginger thatch is 'doomed'.

The future of Charles's properties in Transylvania, bought by the Duchy of Cornwall to help him preserve the traditional lives of the peasantry, remains up in the air. They are now owned by William who inherits the duchy and is less keen on maintaining the rural idyll. Charles is unlikely to find time to indulge his annual week's retreat there. Does that come as a relief to Camilla who has joined him only once
