Well, I'm thinking from 1982 and into 1984 there must have been one heck of a struggle between Fred and Daisy over the royal scissors. Poor guy, I would be depressed too if I had to show up on the balcony in that haircut at any age beyond 3 years old.
It's not like me looking back at my class pictures when my Mum cut my fringe too short. This man is going to be King for Pete's sake. Those pictures will follow him for the rest of his life. They will be all over the place for his coronation, anniversaries of his coronation, etc. etc.

Also, IMO, Henrik looks a lot like his father did as a little one.
