Kate Middleton is arguably one of the most famous women in the world, thanks to her marriage to Prince William and her all-around awesomeness. Of course, since making her own way into the limelight, the world has also wanted to know more about her family. It turns out that the Duchess actually has a pretty handsome brother, and all eyes have been on James Middleton since he announced his engagement to Alizee Thevnet. However, not everyone knows how much of a romantic he really is!

Putting Plans On Hold

Like many other couples across the globe, James Middleton and Alizee Thevnet have suffered heartache at the hands of the ongoing pandemic. Although they were due to get married in May 2020, they have had to cancel their nuptials and postpone to a later date — something that has torn apart his fiancée and his parents, who have been in lockdown with him at his English country estate in West Berkshire. However, instead of wallowing in what could have been, James has decided to use his free time to surprise his wife-to-be.

The Man With the Beard

For much of his life in the limelight, James Middleton has been known as the man with the perfect beard. His facial hair has attracted a lot of attention in the past, and he confessed in an Instagram video that his wife-to-be hadn’t even seen him without one. Because of this, he decided to shave the whole thing off and show Alizee what he really looked like underneath all of that hair. Alizee was obviously shocked by her husband-to-be’s new look, but it seems as though she doesn’t mind what was hiding underneath — and thankfully, it seems as though she still wants to get married!

Although lockdown haircuts are rarely a good idea, we have to say that James Middleton looks just as handsome as ever without his beard.
