For Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex the opposite is true: Harrywithoutfacial hair feels unfamiliar.
The duke debuted his bearded style briefly in December 2013, after he returned from Antarctica.
Harry’s facial hair was also contested privately within the family.
Even so, Harry’s decision to keep the beard won out due to gaining the queen’s support.
Harry asserted that Meghan only knew his bearded visage and was a big fan.
“She loved to grab it and pull me in for a kiss.
I didn’t want her coming down the aisle and seeing a total stranger.”
Harry chalked his brother’s reaction up to jealousy since William had been clean-shaven for his own wedding.
Adam Mallaby of Beyond, a mental health charity for young people, corroborated Harry’s sentiments.
An impressive 86% of respondents voted that they preferred Harry’s beard over his former clean-shaven look.
Besides making Harry feel more comfortable, his beard has helped him to be more approachable to fans.
In his usual relaxed, friendly style, Harry kneeled down to the little boy’s eye level.
The prince developed an instant rapport with the child by hugging him and letting him touch his beard.
