The Prince of Wales has returned to work in London after a Summer break spent with Kate Middleton and their family, and when photos emerged, fans instantly noticed there was something different.

Attending the Homelessness: Reframed exhibit at the Saatchi Gallery in London, Prince William was spotted with a new beard.

While the royal is known to usually sport a clean-shaven face, this is the second time in recent weeks he’s been spotted with a bit of stubble.

He was first spotted rocking the look in a video posted on August 11 to congratulate Team Britain on their efforts at Paris 2024.

A few weeks later, the Prince and Princess of Wales were seen driving to Crathie Kirk Church in Scotland, where Prince William appeared to have freshly shaved.

Now, he’s letting the beard grow back. 

A statement from Kensington Palace shared that the objective of the Homewards campaign is to “to change the narrative and challenge negative perceptions and stereotypes around homelessness.”

Prince William’s last formal appearance was at the UEFA Championship alongside Prince George.
