Meghan & Harry: is it the beard?
BBC
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that there are suspicions that the decision of Meghan and Harry to ‘step back’ from their roles as active members of the Royal Family, may be related to official concerns that Harry continues to wear his fashionable beard.
The right-wing media have on several occasions called for him to shave it off but Harry has remained resolutely hirsute.
The only other member of the wider Royal Family to consistently wear a beard is Prince Michael of Kent. He is invariably kept well in the background at any public events he attends.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, it seems clear that amongst a range of reasons for Meghan and Harry to decide to step back as active Royals is official pogonophobia at Buckingham Palace. The senior Royals do not like facial hair and Harry is a hirsute rebel in this respect.
