The Prince and Princess of Wales’s latest appearance sparked huge excitement from royal fans.
Not only because it marked the first time Kate has been seen since her attendance at Wimbledon last month, but Prince William caused a stir with his bearded look.
The future King, 42, sported a blue Team GB polo top and stubble as he and Kate congratulated the athletes following their triumphs at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
William’s unshaven appearance certainly sparked a flurry of comments on social media, with one fan exclaiming: “William beard era is back.”
Another said: “Great to [see] Catherine again, and William unshaved haha, it’s been years since we’ve seen that, what a sight!”
A third complimented the Prince on his bearded look, saying: “Kate looking beautiful & here for Will’s stubble.”

Others were in agreement, adding: “Love the beard on Prince William,” and “William please keep growing that beard!!”
The Prince, who usually sports a clean-shaven appearance, was last seen with a beard on Christmas Day in 2008.
