Prince Harry shows off his beard-less face in public, but he was not prepared for what his colleagues from his South Pole trek will reveal about him.

The red-haired royal appeared at the press conference welcoming home the Commonwealth team of the Antarctic trek for the benefit of Walking With The Wounded. He attended the event two weeks after his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II asked him to shave the beard he has grown during the trek.

But this was not the first time Prince Harry was seen without his beard. Us Magazine reports last week that an eyewitness posts over Instagram a photo of him without the beard along with the caption, "Spotted. Prince Harry and security having some juice."

Also in the event are the prince's colleagues in the trek, including actor Dominic West, who revealed a lot about the royal and the rest of the team.

"He told some eye-wateringly rude jokes which for a non-soldier like me was pretty shocking!" West revealed.

West, best known as Detective Jimmy McNulty in "The Wire," also dishes out on a drinking session with the Commonwealth team which uses an unusual drinking vessel.

"Most of us, Harry included, just went on a two-day bender with the Icelandic truck drivers who had brought some lethal home brew with them. There was a lot of liqueur drunk.

"We all drank champagne out of Duncan's favourite prosthetic legs."

West was talking about Duncan Slater, a double amputee who was on the British team and whose prosthetic legs were used for their drinks.

Meanwhile, Harry has just left his post as an Apache helicopter pilot at the British Royal Air Force, where he has served for the past three years. He is now a staff officer in London, and one of his first tasks would be the hosting of the Warrior Games in the UK.

"Prince Harry was hugely impressed by the Warrior Games, which he visited in the United States in May," a spokesperson from the Kensington Palace told Us Magazine. "He said then he would be keen to see it brought to the UK and would do what he could to help."
