Fresh from his summer break, the Prince of Wales returned to royal duties last week, sporting the beard he debuted in August.

Prince William, 42, caused a stir with his appearance when he and his wife the Princess delivered a congratulatory video message to Team GB's athletes after the Olympic Games in Paris.

And although William was cleanshaven when attending church at Balmoral over the August Bank Holiday weekend, he let his facial hair grow again before visiting the Homelessness: Reframed exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery in London last Thursday.

Presented in collaboration with Homeward, the Prince's initiative to end homelessness, the show features sculptures, photographs and everyday objects given a new life by artists who may have experienced homelessness, in a bid to give a fresh perspective on the issue.

Contributors include the renowned photographer Rankin as well as Philip Colbert, Simone Brewster, graffiti artist Opake and mixed-media artist Robi Walters.
