Prince William surprised not only British athletes competing at the 2024 Olympics in Paris, but also caught the attention of internet viewers by debuting a new scruffy beard.
The 42-year-old royal was seen in a video alongside his wife, Kate Middleton, congratulating the national team for their outstanding efforts at the Olympics. «From all of us watching from home, congratulations to Team Great Britain», - shared the 42-year-old princess. «Great job you’ve done; you’ve been an inspiration to all of us», - added Prince William.
The father of three sported a beard similar to his brother, Prince Harry. Usually known for his clean-shaven look, this is the first time Prince William has been seen with a beard since 2008.
Wearing a beard was prohibited during both princes' service in the British army, but the 39-year-old was allowed to keep it with special permission from their grandmother, Queen Elizabeth. Reports say this bothered William. In Harry’s book «Spare», - he wrote: «Willie wore a full beard, and someone told him to be a good boy, run and shave. He didn’t like the idea of me enjoying a privilege that was denied to him».
In the video, the couple noted: «Great job @teamGB, what an incredible journey! Every athlete showed immense dedication, heart, and passion. You’ve made us all so proud!» They continued: «This is how to celebrate every victory at @Paris2024 and look forward to more from @ParalympicsGB later this summer».
Their unexpected appearance came as Princess Welsh undergoes cancer treatment, so she has not participated in several royal duties this year.
In addition to these two royal figures, several other British celebrities, such as David Beckham, Emma Willis, Greg James, and others, cheered on their compatriots at the games.
In addition to the British, Snoop Dogg also collaborated with the royal family in a festive video. «Hello, darlings», - began the 52-year-old, addressing his famous phrase from the song «California Gurls». He concluded: «Thank you, Great Britain. From the Big Snoop Dogg, the prince, and his lovely wife»
