Joking remark from Prince William about his recent appearance change
Prince William's Whiskered Wink: A Tale of Trends and Tact
Picture this: The ever-trim, clean-shaven Prince William, a stalwart of traditional royal elegance, rocking a rugged beard. Yep, you heard that right! The Duke of Cambridge surprised us all with a mysteriously grown facial fur last November, during his wife, Catherine (aka Kate Middleton), her battle against cancer[4][5].
Now, the scuttlebutt has it that the hairy reason behind this major transformation is none other than a pesky military neckorder that'd been giving him a chin-bashing! This cheeky tidbit came straight from the horse's mouth—er, the daughter of a Wren—during the VE Day Service of Thanksgiving, where he casually chatted with some veterans and their kin[6].
Gillian Walklate, who served as the daughter of Dorothy Smith, a Naval servicemember in Portsmouth, revealed that the prince was joking about his beard being a workaround for his rattling neck order. She also praised the monarch-to-be for being down-to-earth and easy to approach[6].
Though the real reasoning behind William's beardy baptism remains cloaked in intrigue, sharp-eyed experts believe his new look could mark his first significant fashion-setting moment[4]. Already, his decision to embrace the facial foliage has ignited a wave of masculine makeup revamp, with more men stepping out of their clean-shaven comfort zones[4].
Hairstylist Paul Windle of Windle London Salon in London shared some insights on this to Hello!: “Prince William’s short beard projects an image of well-groomed effort, rather than stubbly messiness, which occurs when someone overlooks their morning grooming”[6]. Perhaps the prince's aging, too, played a part, as the jawline tends to lose prominence with age, making a neat, well-groomed beard an appealing option[6].
As for the specific motive behind his facial fur doors, William hasn't spilled the beans yet. But, he's been vocal about his plans for a more compassionate, philanthropic, and collaborative monarchy as he edges closer to shouldering the crown[6]. He's even expressed a desire to shift the royal status towards a more empathetic leadership style, hinting at a slightly smaller 'r' for "Royal"[6].
All in all, William's beardy transformation serves as a refreshing reminder that the royals, too, are subjects to the whims of time and fashion—much to the delight of their adoring subjects![3][4]
