A source mentioned that Wills had sought advice from Richard Ward, Kate Middleton's longtime hairdresser.

However, Ward's deputy, Joey Wheeler, was said to have given the prince his new haircut in a private session at Kensington Palace.

The veteran stylist reportedly used the "scissor over comb" freehand technique, giving William's hair a soft finish.
