Prince William Once Joked That Doing Princess Charlotte's Hair Is a "Nightmare".

But the king-in-waiting might not be adding "hairstylist" to his résumé whenever soon—although, to be fair, it does sound like he has some simple skills.

"I can do [Charlotte’s] ponytail, however that’s about it as I don’t have enough hair to exercise on!" he then quipped.

Whether or not he is graduated to, like, pigtails or braids has but to be revealed.

Apparently, he additionally helped with Kate Middleton's hair at their 2011 wedding celebrations after the ceremony, when the duchess' locks had to be let down from their half-up, half-down look.

"I desired to show Kate the back of her hair and I used to be struggling to walk with this 500-year-old mirror, and [William] just said, 'Let me give you a hand,'" that day's hairstylist explained. "I said, 'No, no, honestly,' however he took one end and I’ve got the other and we’re shuffling along with this mirror—he’s great, he certainly is."

Well, perhaps he'll add "great guy" to his résumé instead.
