Prince William Shaves Beard (PHOTOS, POLL)

Back at Christmastime, we polled readers on whether Prince William should shaved his newly debuted beard. The majority said nay.

Too bad. He shaved it anyway, returning clean-shaven from a vacation in Scotland with girlfriend Kate Middleton. Take a look at the pictures, then scroll down to take our new poll.

Here's the before, on Christmas Day:

And here's the after, from The Daily Mail::

Finasteride time!

[ChaiKat]

I'd rather look at Harry!

[ihavehope]

Why not grow one if you can....?

[dreadylocks]

wow, I normally hate beards but I can't deny he looks worse without it.

beard looked good

This guy just made me feel a lot better. I was born in 1978 and I keep a beard to look older, but even then I still get told I look like I'm in my early to mid 20's when people guess/assume my age. To any baby faced teenage guys who are getting rejected by the ladies because they say you are "too cute" or "like my little brother" .... it will pay off in the long run, especially at reunion time.

he looks like he's prematurely balding in the clean shaven pic. i like the bearded prince better.

[cjk002]

He is balding, have you seen his father and grandfather?

[JScott]

Rogaine in order or at his income level hair transplant.

[DeepsyRascal]

I shaved my beard yesterday...anyone wanna see my pics?

[Chaucea]

Wow, that latest picture of him... he looks like Woody Allen. *cringe*

[SabrinaFair]

That beard was just not working. It aged him ten years.

A clean-shaven William is a hot William.

[TruthAndTheory]

He seems to look old either way, because of the hair loss on his head.
Oh, to be young and rich...and bald.

[anghiari]

Are you nuts? the beard didn't age him. He looked like a young man who had let his beard grow. He did not look 36 years old...please...hot...how old are you 16?

[KrystynM]

LOL, poor guy! He should just shave it all of now and go with that look. At least there's more dignity than the comb over!

[montecarlo408]

He's one of the few men who doesn't need any hair. I'd pack my daughter's clothes for her so she could marry him. The guy is pure class.

[KarateKid]

How about Rogaine, Wills? Or perhaps Hair Club for Men? You've got the bucks....or Sterling.

[ivoteforsmartpeople]

Unfortunately, it seems he has inherited his Dad's premature hair loss on his head!

He is young and should have plenty of hair Somewhere! LOL

[tangie]

Finally a good looking royal.
