They joined the likes of Snoop Dogg, David Beckham and Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill in the compilation shared across their social media platforms.
But the Prince of Wales’s unusual beard – grown while he takes time off with his family – was all fans could talk about.
One commented: ‘Forgive me ladies… I need to calm down. Prince William looks so handsome with a bit of stubble.’
Expert Judi James told The Sun that William’s beard, whilst allowing him to look “terribly rugged”, also means he is currently focusing on his role as a family man rather than needing his clean-shaven appearance to be seen. in royal duties.
James said he is clearly “giving all of himself time off” with his wife and their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
She said: “It seems even more telling that it is Kate who leads this clip, as she used to do before her illness.
“She speaks first and uses lively, emphatic gesticulation to send a stronger message of Team GB pride.”
James continued: “Kate rewards us with her signature symmetrical smile here, which suggests warm and real pride in the team, while William’s pursed lips and pursed smile also suggest pride in his wife as she steps back in the lead here.”
The expert described William as Kate’s “sexy-looking wingman” who is “standing beside but slightly behind her, looking terribly robust.”
Royals growing beards is not uncommon, with King Charles, as well as Prince Philip and Prince Andrew all sporting them at different times – often during their military service.
While Prince Harry always has a beard or stubble, and has been doing so for several years.
Speaking about William’s stubble, James said: “William’s rough beard seems a poignant nod to the last time he was seen wearing one, which was in 2008, when he was celebrating his reunion with Kate following their break-up. four months. “
She added that it could be an “equally symbolic form of celebration” now that Kate is “back by his side in public” after her health scares.
She said he’s rocking “not only his chin hair, but also a glimpse of some chest hair emerging from that open-neck shirt.”
“He appears to have shaved his hair shorter, but has more than made up for it with a beard, which also signals the fact that he has taken family time very seriously and has dedicated himself completely to time off with his wife and children.” , continued Mrs.
She went on to explain that most Windsor men “have dabbled in facial hair, knowing that a hirsute appearance can emphasize masculinity.”
James, however, believes William’s beard is more modern and in line with younger brother Prince Harry’s stubble.
She said: “Charles and Philip tend to go for a more classic, nautical type of beard, but William appears to have chosen a more modern version that is similar to the style his brother sports.
“It implies strength, support and resilience here, as well as showing the kind of off-duty vibe that defines him in a new role as a devoted husband and father in extraordinary circumstances.
“It sends reassuring signals that he’s ‘made it,’ with a hint of dedication and putting Kate’s needs first.”

The King sent a message to mark the end of the Paris Olympics, congratulating the competitors and describing them as “an inspiration”.
Charles’ statement was released ahead of the closing ceremony on Sunday night.
The King’s message reads: “My wife joins me in sending our warmest congratulations to the competitors and their support teams from Team GB and across the Commonwealth, on their many outstanding successes at the Paris Olympic Games.
