Prince William Captured in Striking New Black-and-White Photo as He Stands Alone in Military Uniform

ICYMI, William debuted his scruffy new look at the beginning of August when he and Kate Middleton dropped a video congratulating Team Great Britain on their Paris Olympics success. It was the first time in eight years that we saw him with a beard, and naturally, the internet went wild. The beard didn’t last long, disappearing by the end of August, but it made its return when the royal got back to work in early September—and now, we’re here for it at the RAF College event.

Fun fact: Prince William actually has some history with this Royal Air Force Base—it’s where he graduated back in 2008, with none other than Middleton, his then-girlfriend, cheering him on.

Speaking of the Princess of Wales, she wasn’t there for this event, but it comes just days after she shared a personal health update with the world.

On Tuesday, September 10, the Princess of Wales announced she’s completed treatment (she revealed her diagnosis in March) and is shifting her focus to staying cancer-free, all with the support of William and their three children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

“As the summer comes to an end, I cannot tell you what a relief it is to have finally completed my chemotherapy treatment,” she shared.
