It's finally Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's long-awaited royal wedding. And while much of the chatter has been about what Meghan will wear, Harry made a bold style choice that got the people talking: He kept his beard for the ceremony Saturday at England's St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle.

 

While it's typically not protocol for men to have a beard while dressed in uniform, it's likely that Harry got permission to do so, according to Esquire.

People are absolutely loving Harry's beard.

So we gonna talk about Harry's moisturized beard, right? 😏#RoyalWedding

I don't care for the Royal Wedding other than fashions but I DO care about Harry keeping the beard for it.
