US EditionKate Middleton Back to Signature Brunette Look After Blonde Hair Transformation
Princess Kate Middleton returned to her classic brunette hair just days after debuting a blonde look, drawing mixed public reactions and defense from notable figures.
- Catherine, Princess of Wales appeared with Prince William, Prince of Wales in Sunningdale, England on Monday, September 8, marking Queen Elizabeth II's death anniversary and sporting her signature chestnut brown hair after a brief blonde phase.
- After months of gradual lightening, Kate's hair was spotted lighter in August before she debuted a blonde style at the Natural History Museum, London on September 4, 2025.
- Online reaction to the blond look included criticism and speculation that it used wigs or extensions, but Sam McKnight, former hairstylist to Princess Diana, and other royal stylists publicly defended the princess and condemned the nasty comments.
- Stylist commentary framed the change as a tonal shift, with royal stylists predicting the sunlit blonde would influence fall trends, while royal observers connected it to Kate's post-recovery confidence.
- Whether the hairstyle will last is unclear, and the Sunningdale outing coincided with the third anniversary memorial for Queen Elizabeth II as Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex was expected to visit the U.K., maintaining high royal attention.
