Prince William's Beard

[lasagnelle]

How long has he had that for then? I thought they weren't allowed beards in uniform. Suits him mind

hope he keeps it. it suits him.

Since the Summer, I think.

I like it too.

He seemed to have designer stubble in the summer holidays and it's a bit heavier now, and very fashionable.
Men's face-hair fashions are interesting. If you look at a group photo of about 1900 almost every man will have a moustache, even if the chin is shaven. Did your father or brothers ever experiment with growing a beard for a while?

I think William looks fine with it.

He’s had it since the summer. He shaved it off once because apparently Princess Charlotte was in tears over it, but he has managed to change her mind.

As for the beard in uniform, all the forces now allow facial hair as long as it is a properly maintained crop. The army changed their policy this year

I think the beard suits him.
But my 14 dd said how in all his recent pics.
His eyes look so sad

I don't like it. His choice though.

I think it really suits him

I think it suits him too.

ETA at least it matches his hair. Even Robert Redford fell foul of the "blond but dark facial hair" thing.

I'm with Charlotte.

I think he looks better without, but it's his face and presumably he (and/or his missus) likes it

Not keen. I think it ages him.

Harold wears the look better.

I like it. It improves him. I also like Harry’s.

I'm not a fan, but his body, his choice. At least it's neat.

I bloody love beards in general so I approve (though I usually like them a big bigger and bushier than that). I think beards are especially good on bald/balding men as they sort of balance things out and help the chap not look completely like an egg. My husband is (almost) bald and has a beard so I think I’m allowed to say that.

Not keen on it, looks like scruffy stubble so perhaps a bit longer? Wonder whether he'll shave it all off when Catherine is given the all-clear - is it a sort of good luck charm at the moment? Anyway, don't like beards but definitely his choice (MOH has one and don't like that either!).

I like it. It does seem to be a very personal matter of opinion though, you either like beards/stubble or you don’t.
