The rugged Prince of Wales sported his popular beard during a visit to a homelessness exhibition, where he also reunited with a friend who sells The Big Issue. The prince’s appearance and the heartfelt reunion with his former acquaintance highlighted his ongoing commitment to raising awareness about homelessness.
Prince William sported his fan-favorite beard today as he resumed his royal duties following a summer break, and was reunited with a friend who sells The Big Issue. The 42-year-old Prince of Wales dedicated his first engagement after the break to his long-standing cause by visiting the Homelessness: Reframed exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery in Chelsea, London. Royal enthusiasts will be pleased to see the return of his signature stubble, which had garnered attention in a recent good luck video for Team GB.
The heir to the throne also had a heartfelt reunion with Dave Martin, a Big Issue vendor whom he has supported. Dave, who became homeless in 2011 after relocating to London, has since formed a close bond with Prince William. The two exchange Christmas cards and have developed a strong friendship, highlighting the prince’s commitment to supporting individuals experiencing homelessness.
