Campaigners welcome Prince Harry’s statement that Baby Archie has been born with a beard
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that it welcomes the news that baby Archie born to Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, will continue the recent hirsute tradition of the male side of the British Royal Family
The father Prince Harry is a consistent beard wearer even declining to shave his beard for his wedding to Meghan despite pressure from Establishment pogonophobes.
On Wednesday, the first public pictures of the new baby appeared and Prince Harry noted that Archie already had some facial hair

While both Prince Philip and Prince Charles wore beards in their youth they have remained resolutely clean shaven in recent decades. Harry has confirmed a distinctive break with the beardless tradition and the campaigners say they hope that the new baby will continue it.
BLF organiser Keith Flett said, Archie is the first Royal baby to be born with a beard underlining how important hirsuteness is in national life in 2019
