Prince Harry has opened up about the importance of his beard in his tell-all memoir, but reveals that his brother Prince William allegedly disapproved of the facial hair for his wedding day.
The Duke, whose autobiography Spare was published in the UK on Tuesday, said the stubble felt "like a shield to my anxiety" and "the new Harry".
Many outraged beard-wearers can resonate with Harry, including Peter Janicwicz, who hasn't been without a beard for the past seven years. Even his wife, Aimee Pearce, admits she likely wouldn't have matched with him online if he'd been without it.
