He looks so much better, he needs to keep it for sure, I’ve always thought he should have stubble or a beard and the tan as well really suits him. He has a very nice physique as well.

BettyBardMacDonald · 12/08/2024 00:19

It's an improvement.

And I'm bot one who generally likes facial hair.

RogueFemale · 12/08/2024 00:29

Big nay. He looks awful.

PyongyangKipperbang · 12/08/2024 00:29

As long as he doesnt go for the full Edward VII, yay!

AInightingale · 12/08/2024 00:52

He looks a bit like George V. But it does suit him.

Widgets · 12/08/2024 00:58

I like it, really suits him.

SpidersAreShitheads · 12/08/2024 01:00

I've always thought, as a general rule, that men who are balding often suit stubble or a short beard and that's definitely the case here.

I think the stubble/short beard? really suits him - hope he keeps it!!

mathanxiety · 12/08/2024 01:37

Huzzah!

He's somehow overheard my remarks over the years and realized he'll look far more distinguished with a neat beard.

mathanxiety · 12/08/2024 01:39

YYY to the Bee Gees comment though. Definitely shades of Barry Gibb.

A bloke's perspective: 6/10 for planning, 1/10 for execution. The problem - in my eyes at least - is that it doesn't look intentional or deliberate, rather it looks as if he's stopped taking pride in his appearance for whatever reason or is having a "I've lost my razor sir" moment. If he had a neat line across the bottom and took the hair off his neck it'd look much smarter and squared away, and like it's a deliberate decision to look like that rather then a lack of action.

I say this with the caveat that my DW buys all my clothes for me (or chooses what to buy rather) as left to my own devices I'd still be cutting about in purple t-shirt, blue jeans, desert wellies with green paracord laces and a nylon bomber jacket on the basis that it worked the first time I was 17 and the second time I was 17 so why not the third? Eh, er... I'll see myself out..

It doesn't suit him like Harry's does, maybe it's his colouring, but it doesn't look right. I'm not against beards on darker haired men but to me it looks like he is growing it to excuse the fact he is going bald.

lonelywater · 12/08/2024 02:43

nah. has that park bench wino vibe about it.

EverywhereYouGo · 12/08/2024 03:46

He looks better with it. Bald men, who aren't conventionally attractive, often look better with a beard imo.

Sweetteaplease · 12/08/2024 04:32

It's amazing how good looking he was as a teen and now look at him, so sad. I think the stubble is an improvement, detracts somehow

Twistybranch · 12/08/2024 04:44

Nay!!!

I don’t mind stubble but that has crossed the line and is now a beard. I hate beards on men with a passion, to the point where I instinctively don’t trust a man that has one. Not rational I know but also, I’m not fighting the notion. Especially hate beards that’s are trimmed to have clean edges, hate goatees but weirdly fine with a tash.

Most men don’t suit beards anyways, only those that don’t have much of a chin.

SuperFi · 12/08/2024 04:54

Hubba Hubba .

it goes well with the tan.

Lots of the Royals seem to age terribly. It's weird. By 30, they look much, much older. I think many had good hair and skin when they were younger, which made them seem more attractive but once that's gone, their features show more which aren't very attractive. Long faces, big noses and the teeth. 😬

Suits him

ArcticBells · 12/08/2024 06:02

I like it

No not him, the one in the middle

honeylou42 · 12/08/2024 06:24

Looks gorgeous

Redwood48 · 12/08/2024 06:24

I think he resembles the middle BeeGee
