For the first time in 100 years: with the permission of Charles III in the UK Army abolished the ban on beard

Army Head, General Sir Patrick Sanders decided to cancel this policy. King Charles signed the relevant document on Thursday. On March 28, King Charles III signed a decree on the abolition of the 100-year ban on the British army to carry beard, EXPRESS. This step was taken after a survey of military personnel and reservists showed that the "vast" majority believes that soldiers should be allowed to wear beards.

Army Head, General Sir Patrick Sanders decided to cancel this policy, announcing that the changes would come into force immediately. According to the new policy, only a "full beard" is allowed from 2. 5 to 25. 5 mm long. According to the rules, artificial colors are not allowed, the hair should be trimmed on the neck and cheeks, there should be no stains or uneven growth.

The army enjoys the reputation of professionals and intelligent people among our allies and the British public. We must support this reputation while continuing to have the best look.

" The former position of the army contrasted with the position of the royal fleet, which allowed the sailors to wear thick beards and mustache, provided that they have the consent of their commander. Royal Air Force staff also was able to grow beards after changing the rules of royal Air Force clothing in 2019.
