Kate Middleton and Prince William Share New Video – Will Sports a Beard?!
With the Olympic Games Paris 2024 coming to a close, Kensington Palace released a heartfelt video on the official Instagram account for the Prince and Princess of Wales. The video, which thanked Team Great Britain, featured a rare appearance by Prince William and Kate Middleton, sparking a frenzy in the comments section.
In the short video, various clips from broadcasters and athletes, including Snoop Dogg, Greg James, Rebecca Adlington, Sir Chris Hoy, and David Beckham, were compiled. They all expressed their thanks and final words of encouragement to Great Britain’s athletes. However, it was the royal cameo that really got people talking. The Prince of Wales appeared with a scruffy beard beside his wife, Princess Catherine, who has been away from her royal duties while receiving ongoing cancer treatments.
Despite his more natural appearance, the couple kept their message short and sweet, placing the emphasis of their words not on themselves but rather on the hard-working athletes who dedicated their talent to their country. The Prince and Princess of Wales captioned the video, “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_official later in the summer.”
Royal fans had a lot to say about the couple’s appearance in the video. One follower wrote, “You both look amazing!!!!! Love the scruff W!!! Catherine, you look stunning!!” Another supporter exclaimed, “WILLIAM BEARD ERA IS BACK.”

One of the last times we saw Prince William with a beard was back in 2008, during a morning service at Sandringham Church on Christmas Day. On that day, a younger Prince Harry, King Charles, Queen Camilla, and other members of the royal family were also in attendance.
Now, nearly 16 years later, the scruff has made a return, although it’s likely that Adam Peaty wouldn’t approve of it in the Olympic pool.
