18 Handsome Guys Whose Beards Have Their Own Personalities and Stories to Tell

Prince Harry looks dashing with his red beard and is used to kids wanting to stroke or tug at it. One such kid was Luke, a boy with special needs, who didn’t say much but found comfort in Prince Harry’s facial hair. He loved beards and Santa Claus and probably didn’t even realize he was in the presence of royalty. This just goes to show that beards do more than serve as grooming styles for men — they help people bond and encourage sweet stories too.
