beard

The prince has been sporting a beard since the summer and it has divided opinion even amongst those closest to him including his daughter Princess Charlotte.

Sandy and his enormous beard - which he has been cultivating for many years, and which he thinks may have helped in the job interview - started his new job back in March.

He was disguised behind a face mask and hat and had created a fake ID in which he had tanned his skin and wore a black wig with a false beard and moustache.

Sitting by the mixing console, Santaolalla looks like a sage from a fantasy novel, with his thick white beard and warm smile.

Ivy says his scruffy beard and “menopause cardigan” make him look like a “ghetto Papa Smurf.”
