Prince William has surprised royal watchers by debuting a rugged new appearance that has left fans buzzing.
The Prince of Wales, alongside his wife Kate Middleton, recently appeared in a video to congratulate Team GB athletes following the Olympic Games in Paris.
While their heartfelt message was appreciated, it was William’s unexpected beard that stole the show.
In the video, Kate warmly expressed, “From all of us watching at home, congratulations to Team GB.” William added, “Well done on all you’ve achieved, you’ve been an inspiration to us all.”
However, it wasn’t just their words that caught attention—William’s fresh look with a beard quickly became the topic of conversation.
Social media users were quick to share their thoughts, with one user, Flynn West, enthusiastically posting, “I’m sorry, since when has Prince William been in his glow-up era? Please say it’s not just me girls, or does he look handsome? Don’t know about you but he is my king.”
The sentiment resonated with many, as another fan simply stated, “He’s hot,” followed by others agreeing with comments like, “He’s so hot,” and “Handsome future king.” One admirer even remarked, “What a tan and a beard can do,” punctuated with a heart-eyes emoji.
Yet, not everyone was equally impressed. Some reminded others that this isn’t William’s first time sporting facial hair, with one commenter noting, “He’s already had a beard…” and another humorously adding, “He looks like my dad.” A few others weren’t as charmed by the new look, with one person quipping, “Think you need to make an appointment at specsavers and get your eyes tested,” while another simply agreed, “It’s just you.”
Prince William’s new look have certainly given royal fans much to talk about, showcasing the enduring interest in the lives of the royal family.
