Summary
- Kate returns to her signature brown hair after brief blonde stint
- Kate and Prince William visit National Federation of Women's Institute
- Former royal stylist defends Kate's hair change amid online criticism
On September 8, 2025, Princess Kate and Prince William paid tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II on the third anniversary of her passing. The royal couple visited the National Federation of Women's Institute, a cause the queen had supported during her lifetime.
For the occasion, Kate, 43, stunned in a plaid outfit, her long brown hair curled. This marked a return to her signature look after briefly going blonde earlier this month. The hair transformation had sparked much discussion online, with some questioning if it was a permanent change or just temporary.
Former royal stylist Sam McKnight was among those who defended Kate, expressing shock and dismay at the "nasty comments" directed at the princess. He emphasized that a woman's hair is deeply personal and that Kate should be free to experiment without facing criticism.
Another royal expert, former butler Grand Harrold, also weighed in, describing Kate's hair change as "beautiful" and suggesting that she deserved to enjoy herself, especially after her recent cancer battle.
As Kate and William honored the queen's memory, Prince Harry was spotted leaving flowers on Elizabeth's grave, underscoring the continued significance of the late monarch's legacy.
