Prince William rocks a bearded look and causes a stir online

The 2024 Olympic Games in Paris have come to a close and in honor of the games closing, the Prince and Princess of Wales took to social media in order to share a special message to the athletes of Team GB. The video featured multiple celebrities, and Prince William rocking a bearded look.

This post on social media definitely sparked a lot of conversation. Not only because Princess Catherine appeared in the video, but also because this is the first time that Prince William has appeared unshaven in quite some time.

In the video the prince wore a more dressed down look thanks to his Team GB blue polo shirt and the stubble on his chin. And as Hello Magazine reports, the comments on the post really seemed to hone in on the fact that the prince had skipped the shave for the day.

Among some of the comments included people pointing out that it had been years since we have seen Prince William with a beard, while another commented that the “William beard era is back.” Another person even pointed out that it looked like the prince even had a tan going on.

Prince William and Princess Catherine help celebrate the accomplishments of Team GB at the Olympics

Obviously, the entire purpose of this video was to congratulate all of the athletes who participated in the Olympics for Team GB. And the Prince and Princess of Wales weren’t even in the video for very long. However, their appearance was definitely striking. Not only because it was both of them together, but the fact that this is one of a very few appearances by the princess since her cancer news earlier in 2024, and the way that Prince William looked with a beard. They made a statement, even without having to say too much.

This was such a great video for Team GB, and we love that it got people talking, even if it is about the prince’s beard.
