“These trends come and go," she Kate Said. 

She further added, "I was saying to my husband, I'm not sure how long he’s going to keep his for."

This comes after a former royal aide to the Prince and Princess of Wales, Jason Knauf, offered a more candid perspective regarding Kate’s feelings about William's beard.
