Prince William is known for being a heartthrob of the late 1990s and early 2000s, and while some people believe he’s not considered one anymore, they may want to think again after seeing these new photos of him in uniform.

The Prince of Wales was recently photographed in military gear during a visit with troops in Estonia. Once fans of the royal family caught a glimpse of the rugged pictures, they declared he was looking the “hottest” he had been in “years.” After turning 42 years old and putting up with some backlash from people on the internet who poked fun at his receding hairline, William is finally getting some very positive comments about his looks.

Prince William Is Photographed In His Military Uniform During A Special Royal Outing

On Friday, March 21st, Prince William visited British troops stationed in Estonia. He talked with troops at the Tapa military camp and spoke about the importance of the country's support of NATO operations.

 

During his time at the camp, the royal heir talked to several soldiers, rode on a tank, and more. Throughout his visit, William was followed around by photographers who captured pictures of him in full military uniform. He also had a subtle salt-and-pepper-colored beard, a fairly new look for the future king that he debuted over the summer during the Olympics.

 

William is known for serving in the UK military for eight years and was appointed Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps by his father, King Charles III, last year, taking over a position he had held for 30 years.

 

While the prince's military accomplishments are quite impressive, that isn't necessarily what fans of him and his family were focusing on after looking at the pictures from the day in Estonia.

Fans Say William Looks The 'Hottest' He Has In Years On Social Media

When pictures of the military visit were posted to Instagram, fans of the UK royals and other internet users could not get over how good William looked, commenting that he's "still very handsome," despite what some online trolls may say.

 

"Wow, he looks hot!" commented a fan, with another adding that the new photos of him were the "hottest he's looked in years."

 

Many Instagram users noted that the powerful combination of a good-looking beard and impressive military uniform was helping out the prince and his appearance, saying they "work well" on him. Many commenters also encouraged him to "keep the beard," adding that it gave him "quite the glow up."

 

"[The] beard is working wonders," wrote one user.

 

"Okay, this is a future king I can get behind," commented another.

 

It's good to know that people are getting even more used to William taking on the future role of King of the United Kingdom, as many believe the day of his coronation will be drawing nearer due to his father, Charles' recent cancer diagnosis and health updates. For now, his fans can enjoy these photos of him in uniform and prepare for his future reign alongside his wife, Kate Middleton.
