Hungary’s difficult-to-pronounce city of Székesfehérvár is where little Bence was born.

His parents eagerly anticipated meeting their new child and getting to see his face. How will he appear? Who will he more resemble? Will he have hair or be bald?

However, Bence didn’t appear normal when he was born. He had a full head of snow-white hair when he was born.

Babies can arrive hairless, with little hair, or with a lot of it. Furthermore, it’s typical for individuals to lose that hair over a period of months until it grows back.

There is no set of guidelines, and it is not indicative of their health. Genetics is all that matters.

White hair, though? One thing you don’t see every day in the birth room is that.

That fashion is typically only worn by people in their late 50s or later.

Scandinavian infants frequently have very light blonde hair that might easily be mistaken for white, but this is owing to their lineage of having blonde hair and blue eyes.

There is no “typical” Hungarian visage because Hungarians come from a wide variety of ethnic backgrounds. However, their features frequently include darker hair and eyes. For instance, Drew Barrymore is of Hungarian descent.

So it really caught me off guard to see white hair.

Bence’s parents were initially concerned about his albinism, a congenital disease that prohibits the body from creating any melanin, despite the fact that he looked gorgeous.

Albinism generally does not pose a life-threatening threat, although it does increase the risk of skin cancer and generally increase sensitivity to light.

After extensive testing for albinism, the doctors found he did not have it.

He did, however, have very little melanin, which is why his hair was so light in color. He was born without risk, in perfect health, at the appropriate weight and height, and on schedule.

His melanin content was only temporarily low, therefore physicians projected that as he aged, his hair will get darker.

Almost like a living, breathing Benjamin Button

Doctor Zoltan Kummer said, “It is more of a local and probably transitory pigment shortage; the boy’s hair might turn darker in a couple of years.”

Because he was such a sweet baby and all the nurses in the unit adored him, he is now referred to as “Prince Charming.”

The name is actually rather appropriate for a child born in Székesfehérvár, often known as Fehérvár, which means “white castle” in Hungarian.

The city is home to numerous stunning and noteworthy castles, including Bory Castle. Brick by brick, one guy constructed it, dedicating the magnificent architecture to his beloved. like a Hungarian Taj Mahal, sort of!

Because of this, the castle has been included in the Guinness Book of World Records.

His endearing moniker and distinctive head of hair went viral, and millions of people around the world concur that he is a unique baby boy.

Although I am aware that every child is different, Bence definitely stood out from the start.

He does like an ancient, wise king in several ways. But I’m confident that as he ages, he’ll appear more young. Who could have imagined?
