The Prince of Wales ditched his typical suit for a camouflage army uniform as he visited an army barracks on Thursday – and royal fans were very impressed.
William, 43, visited troops from the Mercian Regiment at their barracks in Bulford, Wiltshire, in his role as their Colonel-in-Chief, also donning the regimental beret.
Afterwards, William unexpectedly found himself becoming a viral sensation, with photos of himself in army uniform racking up thousands of likes on social media.
