It's been a while since we last saw King Charles with facial hair. Here he is rocking a mustache back in 1975, in Westminster Abbey in London.
A year later and Charles was sporting a full beard at the Badminton Horse Trials. We can see where Prince Harry gets his beard inspo from!
And speaking of Prince Harry, he's been rocking facial hair for many years now. Here he is during a visit to Paignton Rugby Club, back in 2015 in England.
You might not recall, but his brother, Prince William, also jumped on the royal bear bandwagon. This picture was taken in 2008 while attending a Christmas Day service at St Mary's Church in Sandringham, England.
King Charles was not the only son of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip to have grown a beard. His brother, the disgraced Prince Andrew, also experimented with facial hair.
Prince Michael of Kent has been rocking a serious beard for many years. The picture on the left was taken in Windsor in 1985, and the one on the right was in London in 2018.
The former rugby player married Zara Tindall, the daughter of Princess Anne. The shaved head and short beard surely gives this royal a rugged look.
Felipe of Spain has rocked the bearded look ever since he was a Prince. He's now King of Spain and continues to look handsome with facial hair.
We love a prince with a beard, and it looks like Crown Princess Mary of Denmark is also a fan!
The Danish prince might not have a full beard in this photo, but it kind of works for him.
Princess Sofia of Sweden seems like a happy lady, next to her bearded prince during a trip in 2015, in Alvdalen, Sweden.
It can get really cold in Norway, so Prince Haakon's beard might also have a practical use, in addition to the aesthetic one, of course.
That is one nicely-trimmed beard, we must say. Prince Nikolaos of Greece and Denmark is seen here during Queen Margrethe II of Denmark's birthday celebrations at Christiansborg Palace in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Like King Charles, Prince Albert II of Monaco is usually more of a clean-shave man, but he too experimented with facial hair. Though unlike Charles who did it in the '70s, Albert was rocking one in 2017!
The late prince was charming enough to marry Grace Kelly and surely his iconic mustache must have helped! Here he is with Princesses Caroline and Stephanie in 1980 in Gstaad, Switzerland.
The elder son of Princess Caroline shows off his bearded look at the Palace balcony in 2019, in Monte-Carlo, Monaco.
Andrea's younger brother also pulls off the look. Here he is, pictured during the 35th Copa Del Rey Mafre Sailing Cup on August 4, 2016, in Palma de Mallorca, Spain.
The King of Jordan, and Queen Rania's husband, rocks a beard like few other royals.
No, they are not brothers, but indeed they are cousins! The Tsarevich of Russia (later Czar Nicholas II of Russia, left) and Prince George, Duke of York (later King George V, right), back in 1893 rocking impressive facial hair.
British kings' love affair with facial hair goes back a long time, and King Edward VII was no exception. This photo was taken circa 1905.
The man whose assassination helped ignite World War I enjoyed a pretty solid mustache.
Again, an Austrian with fascinating facial hair. The Emperor of Austria, King of Hungary, Croatia, and Bohemia, back in 1893.
King Victor Emmanuel II, King of Sardinia, poses for a photo sporting his majestic facial hairm, circa 1865.
How impressive is King George I of Greece's bold mustache, right? This picture was taken circa 1895.
Austrian royals liked their beards thick and stylish, and Archduke Rainer of Austria was no exception. This image dates back to 1870.
The German Emperor and King of Prussia looking sharp in his military uniform, circa 1885.
The Italian king had a serious mustache back in 1900, the year he was ultimately assassinated.
