Prince William has set hearts racing as royal fans share that they’ve grown to love his bearded look.
The 43-year-old has been seen sporting a beard since the summer months, something that he was previously seen with during his younger years.
Some royal fans appeared surprised by his look at first – with many believing that an unshaven look was against royal rules – but they have grown to love the newer look.
In a poll conducted by Express.co.uk, fans were asked whether they preferred the royal with or without a beard, with results surprisingly close.
Of the 3,351 votes collected, a staggering 1,786 readers [53 percent] shared that they loved his new look – compared to 1,412 [42 percent] who stated that they preferred him clean shaven. 153 readers [5 percent] also voted that they were unsure whether they liked William’s beard.
Taking to the comment section, fans expressed their opinion, with one commmenting: “He looks more mature and that suits him.”
Another fan commented: “Yes he is a hot looking guy [laughing-face emoji]”
A third fan commented that they’d grown to like it, stating: “I didn’t like the beard at first, but now it’s grown a bit it quite suits him. But I must admit I like clean shaven. He looks good with and without. And it’s his choice, not ours.”
Sharing that they’d like his look now, another commented: “I am not and never have been a beard lover. A shadow designer beard as Prince Willim has right now, I find rather attractive. Any more growth and no I wouldn’t like it.”
This comes as it has been confirmed that the Prince and Princess of Wales and their children will not be joining the Royal Family for Christmas lunch. Although they will be present for the service at St Mary Magdalene beforehand, the family of five will be joining Kate’s family at Anmer Hall instead.
