<\/p>\n

\n

As well as talking about and seeing the important work the soldiers do, William and the troops also found themselves exchanging jokes. One of these jokes was about facial hair.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

William, 43, was told by Jack Austin, 26, that many soldiers had started having just a moustache when 1 Mercian was serving in Estonia last year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The prince then joked that he might shave off his beard and join the troops in having just a moustache. He said: \u201cI might end up taking mine off and leaving a tash.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This prompted a laugh, however the matter may not be considered as funny at home. This is because William revealed a few years ago that even growing a beard was a big change, one which left his daughter Princess Charlotte in tears.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

When asked whether his family liked him having facial hair, William revealed in an interview with UK print media in South Africa in 2024: \u201cWell Charlotte didn\u2019t like it the first time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI got floods of tears, so I had to shave it off.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He continued: \u201cAnd then I grew it back. I thought, hang on a second and I convinced her it was going to be okay.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He didn\u2019t reveal at the time what his wife Princess Catherine thought of the facial hair, or whether his sons Prince George and Prince Louis liked it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

William has been sporting facial hair for a few years now, with many liking the look on him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Princess Catherine said last year<\/a> that she is not sure how long William will keep his beard, telling soldiers at the Irish Guards’ St Patrick’s Day celebrations: \u201cThese trends come and go. I was saying to my husband, I\u2019m not sure how long he\u2019s going to keep his for.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
