Princess Charlotte in 'floods of tears' after Prince William made appearance change - but he convinced her it was 'going to be ok'

Princess Charlotte was left in "floods of tears" after Prince William made a major change to his appearance - but he managed to persuade her it’ll be "ok".

As the Prince of Wales, Prince William faces a high level of interest every day of his life, so it’s perhaps no surprise that when he was first spotted sporting facial hair, a lot of attention was paid to this new look. What fans might not have expected, though, was the scrutiny that he apparently faced at home at Adelaide Cottage after opting to switch up his appearance. According to OK!, the future King opened up during an interview in South Africa where he’s been for the 2025 Earthshot Prize awards and explained that Princess Charlotte was not a fan of his beard when he first debuted it. So much so, that the devoted dad initially shaved it off.
