Saw pictures today of Catherine, The Princess of Wales at the Natural History Museum.

I’m glad to see her back to work and looking happy. I’m also stunned by how different her hair looks. I always admired her amazing brown hair, so the blonde is quite the shock. Maybe it’s the wind and the rain creating the effect, but it almost looks like she is wearing a wig?

Just to clarify, I understand she went through cancer treatment and that can affect the hair in many ways. If she is wearing a wig, I really really don’t see a problem with it. If anything, it would be such a boon to cancer patients and people with alopecia etc who do wear wigs frequently. They could see that even wearing a wig you could look as fabulous as Kate.

Either way what is your verdict, wig or her own hair? Does the blonde suit her or do you prefer her as a brunette?

For the Vote:
You are being unreasonable, Kate's hair is all her own.
You are NOT being unreasonable, it's defiantly a wig.

Also as a side note I love her outfit.

Good Heir Day! Kate returns to duties with blonde post-holiday hair

The Princess of Wales joined her husband Prince William to visit the Natural History Museum in London today as they returned to duties after their summer break.

My hair actually looks like this! I’m wondering now if people are talking about me potentially wearing a wig 🤣 give the woman a break already!

What the fuck is wrong with all of you? Women dissecting the appearance of other women. Shouldn’t we have moved on?

Pyjamatimenow · 04/09/2025 21:49

It’s not a wig. Looks like some hair extensions . I think it’s nice for a change. Everyone gets bored with hair.

80smonster · 04/09/2025 21:52

Defo a wig. I don’t have feeling about Kate either way, but suspect she’s lost hair after cancer treatment,

KaitlynnFairchild · 04/09/2025 21:52

Aren’t women advised to get blonde highlights and go lighter as they get older as it helps to blend out grey?

No I think it 100% looks like her natural hair. You can see her parting and scalp, and looks like she has had a blow dry giving a lot of volume and fullness.

Love. This woman's been accused for years of "doing her make up too heavily" (her wedding) "having the wrong hairstyle" (all the time) "picking the wrong painter" (a professional who painted her in what she was comfortable in & made a background to suit) & "needing a new hairdresser" (employed by her as she presumably likes there work) all in relation to her looking older, tired, saggy

At some point you have to accept that A) shes happy with hair & B) it's her face which she can't drastically change that throwing everything off no amount of "cut it short" is going to change the fact that her hair is not the problem here it's her skin quality which has been noticeable for years

That's a pretty shitty comment about another woman. I hope you reflect and consider whether it's appropriate to comment negatively on a woman's appearance, particularly one who can't respond.

No, not a wig but possibly some extensions 🤷🏻‍♀️

sundayfundayclub · 04/09/2025 22:04

As for commentary elsewhere on her new hairdo, that's what being the future Queen is all about. It goes with the territory, and I'm sure everything is carefully chosen with reportage and press pics in mind. I'd say she is well used to both negative (rare enough) and positive (lots) of commentary on her appearance, that's what she has been in training for, and she's doing the same for her kids who will be next.

it would be nice if the press focused more on the work she does rather than her hair or whatever but they write what sells.

Put a picture of yourself on here love and lets all comment on how old and saggy you're looking eh?

sundayfundayclub · 04/09/2025 22:06

Oh but she’s had a face lift and all sorts done in the past. It’s absolutely clear.

Facelift?! In her early 40s? of course she hasn't! Botox? yes. Fillers? probably. Facelift? Crazy!

LoafofSellotape · 04/09/2025 22:07

Forget Kate's hair, what about Will's beard, he's rocking it!

HoppingPavlova · 04/09/2025 13:39

I think the colour ages her, but tbf I’m not exactly a fashionable person, so what would I really know.

I disagree she looks great. She had a tough year going through such intense medical treatment, I am sure that has caused a bit of aging.

sundayfundayclub · 04/09/2025 22:09

I do get frustrated with the Royal Family. They are obsessed with Kate’s image and her being made to look perfect. I can’t think of any other Royal, other than Charlotte, where there is such a focus on their physicality by the media and public. The constant focus Kate’s image must be exhausting. It does make me worry about the mental health of Charlotte over the long term.

It's very depressing considering it's 2025

Hair comes back after the treatment is finished.

Hair comes back after the treatment is finished.

Doesn't usually come back as lighter and half way down your back though.

H34th · 04/09/2025 22:28

Her hair doesn’t look that different - just longer and lighter colour.
I'm the same age as her and my hair looks fuller sometimes because it lost its shine a bit, if that makes sense… Also add to that the rain and the wind.
If it was a wig it would’ve been something exactly like her previous style, something more subtle.

I like her having fun with her hair, experimenting, rather than sticking to one style only (like the queen and princess Anne). I hope she’ll have a bob at some point too as it would really suit her imo. She’s lovely looking, engaged and respectful.

You're unreasonable to start this thread.

I don't think it's her or the Family that are obsessed with her image . . . 🙄

It’s a really weird thread to start especially when you can’t get her name right

What is her name @Sidebeforeself ?

No it's not. It's just an attempt to have a go at her by Sussex supporters .

I doubt they are pro Megan. These lot seem to hate women in general. They would probably criticise Megan too.
