Prince William fans swoon as British royal dons Air Corps uniform and scruffy beard
Prince William has caused quite the stir on social media after posting photos in his Air Corps uniform.
Fans couldn't stop swooning over the future king and Colonel-in-Chief, 42, as he donned the classic buttoned-up camo uniform and a grey beret during a visit to the Army Air Corps (ACC) in Wattisham, Suffolk, on Wednesday.
The Prince of Wales, who also sported a scruffy beard, shared a series of photos from the outing to his and his wife Kate Middleton 's official Instagram afterwards.
One photo showed Prince William starring intensely at a computer screen, while another featured him passing out meals to soldiers and their families.
A different shot saw the Duke of Cornwall walking as he looked off to the side.
'Proud to visit the Army Air Corps as its Colonel-in-Chief. Great to spend time with the soldiers and their families here at Wattisham Air Base,' the post's caption read.
'Thank you for the warm welcome and heartening to see the strength of the regiment's community.
'Very impressed by the relentless commitment, physical capability and mental acuity on display at the combat PT session. An excellent reflection of the Army Air Corps' readiness and professionalism.
'A huge thank you to the soldiers and families of the AAC for the warm welcome - and for everything you do.'
People rushed to the comment section and were ecstatic to see William all dressed up in the uniform and rocking some facial hair, with some calling him 'handsome' and others branding him 'hot.'
'Well, I think I can speak on behalf of womankind... we are HERE for the beard,' one user wrote.
