Hairy Harry Grows A Polar Beard

Prince Harry has a beard!

Yes, the Prince has finally confirmed that he is the anti-William by showcasing his new man-hair, grown whilst he prepares to embark on the final stage of his walk to the South Pole, which is the actual walk bit.

So far, the charity team that Harry is part of have been stuck at a base station, awaiting a break in the weather, so they can get their trek underway.

Seems Harry has been passing the time by growing a real - as opposed to a trendy - beard.

Prince Harry has given a video interview from the South Pole to UK media saying that his brother Prince William is 'quite jealous' of his Antarctica expedition, but only because it means he doesn't have to endure "a screaming child".

He also spoke about the anxieties of his dad, saying, "My father was a little concerned, but I obviously tried to keep him calm and explain the North Pole was the dangerous one because we're walking on a frozen ocean whereas this time there are crevasses. But hopefully the guides will take us around that. Apart from frostbite you should be able to look after yourself as long as you just head south."

Our thanks to the intrepid Sky News royal correspondent Paul Harrison, who has kindly allowed us the share these pictures from his twitter feed, of the newly hirstute Harry with you.

More please, Paul!
