Prince William proved his facial hair has remained intact as he arrived in Aberdeen today to discuss a topic close to his heart: homelessness.
The 42-year-old royal father of three beamed as he arrived in the Scottish city to meet homelessness workers.
Upon arrival, he showed off the beard that royal fans have been raving about for months, and perhaps this is a style choice that will stick around for a long time.
It is the same week that the Princess of Wales resumed her royal duties. This week she chaired an Early Years meeting after announcing that she had completed chemotherapy as part of her cancer treatment.
The Prince of Wales’ busy day is part of his five-year Homewards programme, a mission to prove that homelessness can be ended for good.

Aberdeen is one of six locations across the country receiving funding to find innovative solutions to the problem of homelessness.
Williams’ first appearance is a visit to the Aberdeen office of Shelter Scotland, which supports people who are on the verge of homelessness or who are already homeless.
The charity is part of the Homewards Aberdeen Coalition and will play a key role in delivering early intervention support to young people.
Later in the day, William will attend a special thank you event for workers in the homelessness sector, which is designed to recognise the role they play in preventing homelessness in the city.
The event participants are nominated by their organizations and can enjoy lunch during the event while listening to speakers.

Meanwhile, the Princess of Wales has resumed her royal duties at home after receiving the good news that her chemotherapy has been completed.
Kate, 42, held a meeting at Windsor Castle today for her ‘Early Years’ project, her first such engagement in more than nine months.
She was accompanied by members of her household team and representatives from her Early Childhood Centre at Kensington Palace.
It was formally recorded in the Court Circular, the official record of royal engagements, which stated: ‘The Princess of Wales, Joint Patron of the Royal Foundation of the Prince and Princess of Wales, held a meeting for young children at Windsor this afternoon.’
It was the first meeting mentioned in the Court Circular since the Princess held a roundtable discussion of her Royal Foundation on December 6 last year.
Two days later she held her annual carol service and attended the annual family Christmas party at Sandringham, but a few weeks later she was taken to hospital for surgery.
Although she has been working from home a little, keeping in touch with her ‘passion projects’ and staff, and attending the men’s final at Wimbledon and Trooping the Colour, yesterday marks a significant step forward in Kate’s recovery.
