Prince Harry turns 31 on Tuesday, September 15 and he’s sporting a new accessory for his birthday – a beard.

This isn’t the first time Harry has tried to grow out his facial hair, however, the last time he did it in 2013, the Queen wasn’t happy with him and ordered him to shave it.

InStyle reports since he has been volunteering at the African Conservation Experience in South Africa recently, he hasn’t had a chance to shave his beard and as a result, he has rebelled against his royal grandmother much to the joy of many single ladies across the world.

Harry will spend his birthday partaking in the Battle of Britain 75th anniversary flypast.

The Telegraph reports Harry stepped aside to allow a 95-year-old former Battle of Britain Hurricane and Spitfire pilot as well as two Spitfire scholarship training program winners get a seat in one of the Spitfires when it was detected one of the aircrafts had mechanical problems.
