When Prince William debuted his facial hair earlier this year, many women swooned. They felt the scruffy look suited the future king and gave him a mysterious edge. Unfortunately for him, not everyone agreed. Prince William shared that his young daughter, Princess Charlotte, did not approve of her daddy’s new look. In fact, it caused quite an emotional response for the 9-year-old.

Prince William Said Prince Charlotte’s Heart Broke When She Saw His Beard
The father of three told the media during a visit to Cape Town, South Africa, that the first time he grew his facial hair, his daughter hated it.
“Well, Charlotte didn’t like it the first time. I got floods of tears. The first one, I got tears, so I had to shave it off,” he said.
But it seems Prince William liked it and tried again to get Princess Charlotte’s approval.
“Then I grew it back. I thought, hang on a second, and I convinced her it was going to be okay,” William said.
Per People, a reporter in the room told Willam that the beard made him appear more relaxed. The comment struck him as the family faced many challenges the past year with health struggles. Both Princess Kate and King Charles were diagnosed with cancer.
“It’s interesting you say that because I couldn’t be less relaxed this year. So it’s very interesting you’re all seeing that,” he said.
If there is one thing about the royal family, they do their best to spend time together. Both Prince William and his wife, Princess Kate, focus their efforts on Princess Charlotte and her brothers, Prince George and Prince Louis.
“I enjoy my work, and I enjoy pacing myself and keeping sure that I have got time for my family too,” he said.
