Prince Harry Debuts New Look While In Africa

We wonder what the Queen will have to say about this?!

Prince Harry has long been known as the rebel of the royal family. 

We don’t know if its the cheeky glint in his eye, the way he’s completely unafraid to mingle with the masses, or THOSE Vegas photos, but we think his wild ways are part of his charm.

The Prince is currently spending time in Africa. 

Now he has opted for a new “outgrown” look while in Africa, and has debuted a beard – despite the fact that it was widely reported that the Queen is not a fan of the bearded look.

Royalty and Rhino!Friday was probably one of the most exciting days ever for Khulula Care for Wild, as the project…

The 30-year-old is currently spending three months in Africa, learning about and helping to protect endangered animals.

The African Conservation Experience also tweeted a photo of the prince alongside the caption: “HRH #PrinceHarry visited Khulula CareForWild to learn about rhino conservation!”

This is not the first time the prince has worn a beard.

This is not the first time we have seen Harry sport facial hair.

Back in January 2014 the Prince grew some extra facial insulation while in the Antarctica, at which time the Queen apparently expressed her distaste in no uncertain terms.

A source told the Sunday Express newspaper at the time: “The Queen soon let her displeasure be known.

“She doesn’t mind royal men growing beards when they are away in the Armed Forces or out in the wilds like Harry was in the Antarctic, but she expects them to be clean-shaven when they get home.”

The Queen is reportedly not a fan of facial hair. 

“Royal staff are not supposed to grow beards or moustaches and she probably thinks it is difficult to enforce that rule when her own grandson has a beard.”

Sounds like Harry will be getting the clippers out soon – if he doesn’t want a clip around the ear.
