Prince William Rocks Harry’s Signature Style, Leaving Fans and Critics Buzzing
People online have mixed opinions about Prince William’s new stubble. His facial hair now looks a lot like the beard that he used to criticize his younger brother for having.
On September 10, Prince William visited South Wales and showed off his new rugged look. Many people on social media noticed that his stubble is very similar to the beard his brother often wears.

Photos of Prince William online show him with a bright smile and expressive face as he visited various places in Llanelli

During his visit, Prince William also stopped by Swiss Valley Community Primary School. He met with former and current members of the Wales female international rugby team, who have qualified for the 2025 World Cup.

After seeing pictures of Prince William with his stubble, people started sharing their opinions online. One Instagram user commented, “Not a good look on him.”
Another user expressed a similar opinion but also praised his character, saying, “Sorry William, I don’t like the stubble But you’re kind, thoughtful, caring, and a lovely family man, so who cares what I think \.”
Expressing concern for the prince, someone else wrote, “William has lost weight and seems to have aged. He needs to rest and take care of himself. With all the pressure from Harry, his father, and his wife, he’s carrying a lot on his shoulders!!”

In contrast to the criticism Prince William received about his stubble, some fans were enthusiastic. One admirer swooned, “Looks good on him,” while another exclaimed, “Love the beard!!!!” A third fan gushed, “Even more handsome with his beard.”

Referring to Prince Harry, one social media user noted, “[They] told William not [to] grow his beard, so now he’s copying Harry, even though [he] had a [fight] with [him] to [shave] it. William is always copying Harry.
Some of the details about his family were included to shed light on the characters and personalities in Prince Harry’s life. He recognized that even the information he chose to share might be hard for his family to forgive.

The Duke of Sussex also stated, “But the way I see it is, I’m willing to forgive you for everything you’ve done. I wish you had actually sat down with me properly instead of just saying I’m delusional and paranoid.”

He also stressed the importance of having an honest discussion, saying, “Actually sit down and have a proper conversation about this. What I really want is some accountability and an apology to my wife.”
