Kate Middleton's Hair: Sunshine, Not Dye, Says Princess

The Princess of Wales recently clarified the reason for her lighter hair, attributing the change to spending time in the sun. During an appearance at the Royal Variety Performance, Kate responded to comments about her hair's hue by stating it had naturally lightened from sunshine.

This explanation supports earlier reports from stylists who suggested that a summer holiday in Europe, involving sun and saltwater, had gently altered her hair color. They noted that the combination of elements could create a softer shade, serving as a base for salon treatments.

Experts further corroborated that extended periods outdoors during Europe's warm summer, combined with natural elements like sea air and saltwater, could easily result in a sun-kissed effect. This natural lightening phenomenon is considered a likely cause for the observed change in the Princess's hair color.
