Princess Kate shares video message with William congratulating Team GB as 2024 Olympics come to an end
PRINCE William rocked a beard in a new video with Princess Kate as the couple congratulated Team GB ahead of the Olympics closing ceremony.
The royal pair's clip - shared across their social media channels - also featured the likes of Snoop Dog, David Beckham and Jessica Ennis-Hill, but Wills' rugged look was all fans could focus on.
The post said: "Well done @TeamGB, what an incredible journey!
"Every athlete showed immense dedication, heart and passion. You made us all so proud!
"Here's to celebrating every triumph at @Paris2024 and looking forward to more from @ParalympicsGB later in the summer."
The video also features messages from the likes of Snoop Dog, David Beckham, Mark Chapman, Jessica Ennis-Hill, Greg James and Clare Balding.
The royal couple shot their portion of the video in the garden, with the Prince of Wales sporting a more rugged look with thick stubble on his face.
And fans were quick to take note of his new appearance.
One commented: "Pardon me ladies... I need to cool down. Prince William looks so handsome with a bit of facial stubbles."
Another added: "Oh William."
And a third said: "THE BEARD?!"
