“I didn’t want her to come down the aisle and see a complete stranger,” she writes in her autobiography. Queen Elizabeth later allowed it, but Prince Harry says in the book that Prince William was so upset, and “angry,” when he found out that he told his younger brother to “shave off.” According to Spear, Harry asked his brother on that occasion why he was upset by his grandmother’s decision, and William apparently replied, “Because I wasn’t allowed to keep a beard.” William felt favoritism from the Queen toward his younger brother.
Prince Harry explains what happened this way: “When he came back from a mission with the Special Forces, Willie had a big beard, and someone said to him, ‘Be a good boy, run and shave.’ He hated the idea of me having a privilege that he wasn’t allowed to have.”
Queen Elizabeth II didn’t like beards.
According to Robert Hardman’s book Queen of the world, The Duke of Edinburgh even dared to deviate from his wife’s preferences and grew a beard during a solo tour in 1965 on the Royal Yacht Britannia, while on a trip around the Commonwealth.
To show her disapproval of his aesthetic choices, Queen Elizabeth decided to play a prank on him. Robert Hardman in his book Queen of the world He writes thus: “Knowing that he grew a beard during his travels, the Queen made sure that all members of the royal court – including herself – wore fake moustaches just before the Duke’s entrance.
However, something has changed today, and these strict rules, although disguised with a typically British sense of humor, imposed by Queen Elizabeth II, no longer have the value they once had, and William himself has proven this by feeling free to make his aesthetic choices, regardless of the ruling of the royal family, by appearing in public unshaven (and perhaps taking revenge on Harry).
