Prince William has embraced his facial hair, according to a former royal aide.
“Prince William is such a gent,” praised yet another commenter, while others reflected on the late Princess Diana, remarking, “A complete natural just like his mum.”

People praised Prince William for being so down-to-earth.
Recently, William has embraced a new look featuring facial hair, which has drawn both curiosity and compliments. Jason Knauf, a former royal aide, shared his thoughts on the prince’s beard during an appearance on 60 Minutes Australia in February. “I love it. I think it’s great,” he stated, adding, “If she didn’t like it, it wouldn’t be there. I could tell you that.”
However, it seems his daughter, Princess Charlotte, 8, wasn't fully on board with dad's new style in the beginning. “Well, Charlotte didn’t like it the first time. I got floods of tears, the first one I got tears, so I had to shave it off,” he confessed during a November 2024 visit to Cape Town, South Africa. “Then I grew it back. I thought, hang on a second, and I convinced her it was going to be OK.”
With his wit and warmth, Prince William continues to win over the public, proving that even royalty can share a good laugh about balding and family dynamics.
