Huddle up, team, we’ve got something of utmost importance to discuss. Prince William is keeping his beard. The royal originally debuted his facial hair over the summer, in a video with Kate Middleton congratulating Team Great Britain on their performance in the Olympics. It seems that he’s taken a liking to it, as he appeared unshaven at an appearance on Thursday.
William appeared at a private viewing of the “Homelessness: Reframed” exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery in London looking très casual by his own standards. He wore a navy suit with a light-blue button-down underneath, with a few of the top buttons undone. He paired his outfit with the beard, of course, which looks like it’s seen a couple days of growth but is nowhere near as long as it was in August. Is the baldness … working for him? He looks almost … rakish?
Look, I’m not the only person having these thoughts. In the comments of the August Instagram post, one woman wrote, “Wow! William looks hot ! Nice tan and lovely stubble! I’m middle aged woman! I’m flushing!” I think I agree with her. Over on X, Brits were fawning over their future monarch’s new look.
So, Prince William is hot again, and Oasis is reuniting? What an exciting time to be an elder British millennial. Maybe this means Guy Ritchie will return to making good movies again.
