The heir to the British throne and his wife took part in Remembrance Day events on Sunday. While William laid wreaths alongside his father, King Charles III, Kate stood on the balcony of Buckingham Palace with 59-year-old Duchess of Edinburgh, Sophie.
Lip-reading expert Nicola Hickling revealed the content of a brief conversation that took place between the Princess of Wales and Prince Edward’s wife. Sophie commented on William’s change in appearance, as he had appeared in public in August with facial hair, which he continues to keep.
“Do you like his beard?” Sophie asked Kate. “I find it quite exciting,” Middleton replied with a smile. After that, the Duchess expressed her support for the Princess, who has resumed her royal duties after undergoing chemotherapy and recovering from cancer. “I’m so glad you’re feeling better now,” Sophie added.
Body language expert Judy James also analyzed the joint appearance of the Prince and Princess of Wales, who attended the memorial event together over the weekend. “Kate and William can’t keep their hands off each other. They will be much more open in displaying the strength of their love going forward,” noted Judy. At one point, the couple placed their hands on each other’s waist, drawing close together. “They are showing mutual support, protection, and affection,” the expert added.
An insider shared that William has always liked the way he looks with facial hair and would have worn a beard and mustache for years if not for royal protocol. Furthermore, it was confirmed by palace sources that William did indeed have a disagreement with his younger brother over his beard ahead of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding. The Duke of Sussex mentioned this incident in his memoir *Spare*.
The heir to the throne insisted that Harry shave his beard before the 2018 wedding ceremony, as it was customary for grooms to be clean-shaven when dressed in military uniform. According to Harry, when he received permission from his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, to keep his facial hair, William turned pale with anger. By the way, Kate Middleton’s husband was named the world’s sexiest bald man for the second year in a row.
