‘s former aide Jason Knauf has subtly revealed that is a fan of her husband’s famous beard – suggesting that he wouldn’t keep it if she didn’t like it.
William first sported the new look last summer to congratulate Team GB athletes.
When asked during his interview with 60 Minutes Australia whether Kate is a fan of his beard, William’s former communications secretary and close confidant said: “If she didn’t like it, it wouldn’t be there. I could tell you that!”
Jason, who is still close to William and Kate, added that he, himself, really likes William beard.
He added: “I love it. I think it’s great. But I’ve talked to him about it or tried to talk to him about it. He’s like, ‘It’s here. I have a beard. No further conversation.'”

While Kate appeared to be a fan, Princess Charlotte, nine, was reportedly in floods of tears after seeing her dad’s new look.
William was asked about his stubble at the end of a four-day visit to Cape Town in November, and he admitted: “Charlotte didn’t like it the first time. I got floods of tears the first time I grew a beard, so I had to shave it off.
“And then I grew it back. I thought, hang on a second and I convinced her it was going to be OK.”
Speaking to reporters, who said his new look made him look more relaxed, William replied: “It’s interesting you say that, because I couldn’t be less relaxed this year, so it’s very interesting you’re all seeing that.”
