Just In: Princess Charlotte burst into floods of tears as Prince William followed Prince Harry’s bold move…. See More

Princess Charlotte burst into floods of tears in reaction to Prince William growing a beard.

The Prince of Wales revealed his daughter’s response to his facial hair during a candid interview in South Africa.

Prince William said: “Well Charlotte didn’t like it the first time. I got floods of tears, the first one I got a tears, so I have to shave it off. And then I grew it back.

The Prince of Wales added: “I couldn’t be less relaxed this year, so it’s very interesting you’re all seeing that.

“But it’s more a case of just crack on and you’ve got to keep going.

“I enjoy my work and I enjoy pacing myself and… (making) sure that I have got time for my family too.”

Prince Harry has sported a beard for many years and it was at the centre of a falling out between the Duke of Sussex and Prince William.

The Armed Forces had strict rules around facial hair while in uniform.

Harry claimed while the Queen had been amenable to the beard, Prince William was not.

The Duke of Sussex alleged that William ordered him to shave it off after a week-long argument.

However, Harry kept his beard for his wedding day and has rarely made a public appearance clean-shaven in the following years.

Harry told Bradby he did not think Meghan would have recognised him clean-shaven and he “would feel very, very different without my beard”.

The Duke of Sussex added: “That’s hard for people to understand who’ve never grown a beard but hopefully those beard people out there will go, ‘Yeah, I get that, I can understand’.”
