Forget how it looks, he should ask his girlfriend how she feels about kissing that itchy thing. LOL

[MeganBW]

Where did the scar on the side of his forehead come from?

[Tatiana]

Polo

[minty68]

He got hit in the head with a golf club accidentally at school when he was about nine. There was a big flap at the time about how Diana stayed by his side while Charles left to attend the theater.

[Saidas]

The scar comes from cutting himself while shaving and is why he now has a beard.

[vegasobserver]

He was jousting with the Earl of Willoughsby, at the Grosvenor Estate in Stratford-upon-Avon.

[walleymr]

What, is he going to be referring to the results of this poll to make his decision?

[vegasobserver]

Prince William is either the ugliest attractive person, or the most attractive ugly person on the planet.

[chonus]

bah. u call that a beard?

[GiancarloJones]

He would do better to invest in Rogaine. The facial hair does not compensate for his premature baldness. Guys think if you have a certain total number of hairs visible on the entire head, people won't notice you're a little thin on top, even if you are a prince. The whiskers help him look less like his father. My advise, take a shave pretty boy!

[godhelpusall]

at first, i thought the headline was referring to his girlfriend ---

[dreadylocks]

lol

[Chaucea]

Haha! Touche! :-D

[prairiejane]

It's no worse than any other beard. FWIW.

[StephenJK]

I've had a beard for more than 2 years now. Daft facial hair rules wherever it goes (no pun intended). That's why we grow our beards. Growing a beard is something every man (and woman who can) should do. It liberates us from what is deemed socially acceptable and it helps us think things through. The beard never forgets. I have no clue what I am talking about. But, I WILL keep my beard. Even after the fad fades into obscurity.

[SonyaInTx]

Now he just needs to grown AND comb the hair on top of his head. It's always a mess!

[mamacat]

A lot of European men have a totally different attitude about hair than men here in America. Contrary to what we might think here in the States, it is the Europeans who today are more laid back, and the Americans who are more uptight and obsessive.

[NoOneSpecial]

Ain't that the truth!

If he's over 25 or lacks a totally ripped muscular physique, the American public pegs the typical American male as "ugly".

Just another artifact of our uptight, image-and-youth-obsessed culture.

[Tatiana]

At least american men take care of their teeth

[pottery]

D'oh! I meant No Way! Cool beard.

[AliMB]

i say leave it... i think beards only look good with dark hair and completions... he looks kind of like an aspiring scandinavian prince with that auburn-looking color...

[eXcommunicate]

William looks good. Beatrice got beat with the fugly stick.

[AliMB]

not to be mean, but fugly wouldn't do her highness justice....

[pir anha]

"not to be mean" -- just what DID you mean to be then?

ugly is as ugly does. i'd say the two of you have beatrice beat.

[godhelpusall]

fortunately for Bea, it was an ebony and ivory, gold-encrusted, fugly stick ---

The Queen has no real power? Bollocks! The queens rep in Australia, the Governor General dismissed the Labor govt. in 1974.

[Cyrus8899]

I recommend you get your facts straight, because as much as I support our (Australia) seperation from the monarchy, the fact is the Governor General of the day, John Kerr, did not consult the Queen when he sacked the Whitlam Government.

In fact, the Queen was not remotely involved in the scandal, as she had decided that Australia had become effectively independent enough that we should deal with the problem ourselves.

P.S One of the most likely models for a Republic, should another referendum be proposed, is one which maintains the position of Governor General in some way so as to act as a check on the Prime Minister's powers.

Love it!
Very King-ly.
Retro in both a 70s AND medieval sort of way.
