AceShowbiz - Prince William reveals that his daughter, Princess Charlotte, initially disapproved of his beard, which he debuted earlier this year. Despite setbacks, William persisted and convinced Charlotte to accept his new look.

At a recent event, William candidly discussed his beard and the challenges he has faced this year. He acknowledged that while his appearance may suggest relaxation, the past year has been the hardest of his life, with both his wife, Kate Middleton, and father, King Charles III, being diagnosed with cancer. Despite these hardships, William expressed his pride in his family and his commitment to his royal duties and family life.

Prince William has spoken out for the first time about his bold new look. In a candid chat, he revealed that his new beard had to pass a very important test - not from the public, but from his 9-year-old daughter, Princess Charlotte.

William shared that his initial attempt to grow facial hair didn't go quite as planned, as Charlotte was initially not a fan. However, the determined dad persisted and eventually convinced her that his beard was okay.

Prince William debuted his new facial hair in August, giving him a more laid-back appearance. However, he admitted that the appearance is deceiving, as the past year has been filled with challenges. Both his wife and father were diagnosed with cancer, making it the hardest year of his life.

Despite the difficulties, William emphasized the importance of carrying on and making time for family. He said, "I enjoy my work, and I enjoy pacing myself and keeping sure that I have got time for my family too."

While he admitted to not liking more responsibility, William expressed his satisfaction with the freedom to pursue his passions, such as his Earthshot Prize and homelessness scheme.
