“She’s a fan,” according to William’s former communications secretary, Jason Knauf, who recently discussed the royal’s facial hair during a special episode of 60 Minutes Australia.

After all, the Prince and Princess of Wales have been spending more time in the country lately, which is seemingly all the more excuse for the monarch to channel his inner mountain man.
