The future King, 42, wore a blue Team GB polo shirt and sported stubble as he and Kate celebrated the athletes’ successes at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
William’s unshaven look generated a buzz on social media, with one fan commenting, “William’s beard era is back.”
Another added, “Great to see Catherine again, and William unshaved—it’s been years since we’ve seen that, what a sight!”
A third admirer praised his appearance, saying, “Kate looks beautiful & I’m here for Will’s stubble.”
Others echoed the sentiment, with remarks like, “Love the beard on Prince William,” and “William, please keep growing that beard!”
The Prince, who typically maintains a clean-shaven look, was last seen with a beard on Christmas Day in 2008.
