Who could’ve thought Prince Harry and Prince William would star in a series of arguments related to facial hair? Yes, you read that right! According to the Duke of Sussex himself, there was a really hairy discussion between him and his older brother.
In his 2023 bombshell memoir “Spare,” Prince Harry revealed that his beard wasn’t just a style, it was a security blanket. But when the Duke of Sussex wanted to keep it for his 2018 wedding to Meghan Markle, the royal drama started. The bone of contention? Queen Elizabeth ll’s blessing of Prince Harry’s facial hair, something that didn’t thrill William at all!

“When I informed him that his opinion didn’t really matter since I’d already gone to Granny and got the green light, he became livid.”
Prince William had to shave off his facial hair due to military custom, and that’s why, according to Prince Harry, he was so angry about their grandmother’s approval of the beard. Apparently, William saw it as special treatment from the Queen, something that had long been a point of tension between the royal duo.
Prince Harry had a close relationship with the late Queen, which reportedly rubbed many in the monarchy the wrong way, especially his brother. However, with Queen Elizabeth ll’s passing and Prince Harry’s moving to the United States, the beard drama might be over!
