Prince William has a brave new look!
On Sunday, the British royal and his “lovely wife” Princess Catherine surprised audiences with a video congratulating Team Great Britain for their performance in the Paris Olympics… And he has a totally new look!
The official Kensington Palace video, which opens with none other than Snoop Dogg greeting fans, quickly cuts to the Prince and Princess of Wales issuing a sweet message. Catherine says:
“From all of us watching from home, congratulations to Team GB.”
William then chimes in:
“Well done on all you’ve achieved. You’ve been an inspiration to us all.”
Awww! Our attention couldn’t help but be drawn to his ravishing new beard! He and Prince Harry may not be on stellar terms, but that doesn’t mean he can’t be inspired by his little bro’s scruffier look! Ha!
The video, which also features David Beckham and a ton of others, concludes with Snoop thanking the athletes:
“Thank you, Great Britain. On behalf of big Snoop Dogg, the Prince, and his lovely wife.”
Watch the full thing and see William’s beard (below):
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 ???????????? pic.twitter.com/oCLz7HuuLG
