In his memoir, Prince Harry details a significant disagreement with his brother, Prince William, over facial hair protocols before his wedding to Meghan Markle. William reportedly became furious when Harry was permitted to keep his beard while wearing his military uniform, a privilege he was denied during his own wedding.
Prince Harry has made the shocking claim that his elder brother, Prince William , was "jealous" of him in the lead up to his wedding, and for a rather unexpected reason. The Duke of Sussex married Meghan Markle on 19 May 2018 at St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle, with William by his side.
Yet, he sought special permission from the Queen to maintain his facial hair, a move that reportedly infuriated William. In his tell-all memoir Spare, Harry discusses this 'beard-gate'. He wrote: "And yet I now dared to make another ask – Granny, please, may I, for my wedding, keep my beard? Not a small ask either,".
Harry recounted, "For the love of God, Willy, why does this matter so much to you? 'Because I wasn't allowed to keep my beard.' Ah, there it was. After he'd come back from an assignment with Special Forces, Willy was sporting a full beard, and someone told him to be a good boy, run along and shave it. He hated the idea of me enjoying a perk he'd been denied."
