THE Queen has issued Prince Harry with a New Year order to shave off his beard. She made it clear to him that she “intensely dislikes” facial hair and expects him to remove it “sooner rather than later”. Harry, 29, sprouted the beard last month while on his Walking With The Wounded charity trek to the South Pole. He returned to Britain just in time for the festive celebrations at Sandringham but although his brother William and sister-in-law Kate said they loved his “Windsor whiskers” his grandmother was apparently not amused. Harry has said beards are a royal tradition and told a well-wisher watching his family walk to church on Christmas morning that he intended to keep his. “The rest of the family liked it and were taking the mickey, especially his cousin Zara who dubbed him ‘Prince Hairy’,” said a royal insider. POLAR BEARD: Prince Harry's beard grew out during his time in the Antarctic “But the Queen soon let her displeasure be known. She doesn’t mind royal men growing beards when they are away in the Armed Forces or out in the wilds like Harry was in the Antarctic, but she expects them to be clean-shaven when they get home. Royal staff are not supposed to grow beards or moustaches and she probably thinks it is difficult to enforce that rule when her own grandson has a beard. Harry doesn’t like to upset the Queen and will probably shave it off soon but he is still a bit of a rebel and he wasn’t going to remove it straight away. He wanted to show it off to Cressida first and see what she thought of it.”

Prince Harry is determined to highlight the bravery of the injured servicemen whom he joined on their expedition to the South Pole, even though the competitive element had to be suspended because of “difficult terrain”. Prince Harry will appear in a television documentary, provisionally called Harry’s Heroes, about the injured servicemen whom he joined on their expedition to the South Pole Mandrake hears that the Prince has agreed to appear in a television documentary, provisionally called Harry’s Heroes, which will show how the adventurers, including 12 servicemen and women from Britain and other nations who have suffered terrible injuries, including the loss of limbs, pulled sledges for more than 200 miles across the frozen wastes of Antarctica. The programme will be broadcast by ITV in March. “It will include some quite emotive stuff from Harry,” I am told.
