Shame he inherited that hairline thanks to Prince Philip's contribution(?) to the gene pool.
The line should have stuck with the Stewarts!

Going Bald Isn't Your Mother's Fault; Maternal Genetics Are Not To Blame

Don’t Blame Mom
Many people believe hair loss is passed down on the mother’s side. While it’s true a key gene for baldness is on the X chromosome, which you get from your mother, it is not the only genetic factor in play since men with bald fathers have an increased chance of going bald when compared to men whose fathers have a full set of hair. While twin studies have confirmed male pattern baldness to be genetically determined, scientists say baldness anywhere in your family may be a sign of your own impending fate.

The FT makes a nicer colour blanket on the bench.

I was taught that in college phsycology, but the years have made me skeptical.
My maternal grandfather was bald, my father and paternal grandfather were full haired.
At 71, I still have a thick mop.

So do I and chuck them as they thin out through use on the floor.

Others like you must be much softer users.
