Alright folks, let’s talk about the royal wedding everyone’s been buzzing about. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are tying the knot, and while everyone’s eyes are glued to Meghan’s stunning wedding gown, there’s another detail that’s raising some eyebrows—Harry’s facial hair. Yes, you heard me right. The groom’s beard is making waves, and here’s why.
Now, Harry, who served two tours in Afghanistan, decided to wear his military uniform for his big day, just like his brother, Prince William, did back in 2011 when he married Kate Middleton. But here’s the kicker: army rules technically state that grooms who choose to marry in uniform should be clean-shaven. That’s right, no beards allowed. English journalist Hugo Vickers chimed in, saying, “He’s not able to wear his Royal Horse Guards uniform with a beard.” But guess what? Harry didn’t care. He went full-on scruff, and let me tell you, it’s working for him.

But here’s the thing—Harry broke the rules! And guess what? He’s not the first to do it. At 33 years old, the prince is rocking a full beard on his wedding day, and I’ve got to say, it suits him. This isn’t the first time he’s done this, though. Believe it or not, Harry has worn a military dress coat in public with a beard before. Hugo Vickers mentioned, “He does it sometimes but they don’t like it.” Translation: Harry’s not one to follow every rule to the letter, and honestly, we kind of love that about him.
As a member of the royal family and someone who’s no longer on active duty, Harry might have been given a little wiggle room. Some people thought he’d ditch the uniform altogether to keep things low-key. Royal correspondent Penny Junor even speculated that there was a chance the prince would skip the uniform, but clearly, that didn’t happen. Plus, let’s not forget—Harry has been rocking a beard throughout his entire relationship with Meghan, so it would’ve been strange if it suddenly disappeared on the big day.
Bookies had placed bets on whether Harry would shave before the wedding, making it a 10/11 shot that he’d ditch the scruff. But gambling company Ladbrokes’ Alex Apati admitted, “It looks as though Harry’s beard will go and the groom will be well-groomed ahead of the biggest day of his life.” Well, guess what? The beard stayed, and we’re here for it. Harry’s scruff is adding a rugged charm to his already dashing look.
