Is Kate Middleton wearing a blonde WIG?

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.

Oh and yes this thread shows exactly that!

As for why she was there she is a Patron of the NHM.

In the engagement interview William referred to her as Kate. He also referred to her as Kate only a few years ago but I can't remember the context. This is what he will call her I expect.

I think it was simply the difference between being called one name by close friends and family and then deciding what to go by for formal occasions when stepping into a high profile public-facing role.

Between the engagment and the wedding she probably had to make a lot of decisions based on the fact that she was about to become a future queen.

I think they knew that they had to get people used to Catherine being her formal name so that Queen Catherine wouldn't sound odd when it came time.

She'll be the sixth Queen Catherine for England. I don't think there's ever been a Queen Kate anywhere.

Don't be so dramatic. There is truth in what I say . I went to hospital for a cardio assessment and the nurse when she heard my Scottish accent " shall we take you right through to the theatre now?" . I was so gobsmacked that I didn't say anything. You see in this country which you haven't lived in for years there is very much an uneven playing field when it comes to who can and cannot be slagged off.

I lived in the Middle East for years and I know the rampant racism that exists there from citizens towards other nationalities . If there is anything I have said that you consider offensive then report.

Call me stupid but what's the issue with this @jamnpancakes ?

When Katherine Middleton got engaged to Prince William I said that there was no way I’d fly into THAT gilded cage, not that I’d have been asked. And this thread proves I would have been right. Give the girl a break. Who would want people speculating whether their hair was natural/assisted with extensions/a syrup and really she is bald as a coot? None of anyone’s business but the Princess herself. But the poor woman has to put up with every man jack and his wife speculating about her health, her weight, her hair, her clothes, her relationship with her husband, her children, her parents and siblings and then her in laws and god knows what else. Leave her alone!
Can’t we just simply wish her well?

Absolutely agree.

I thought things reached a real low with all that business about the photoshopped hand. Then she had to come out and do that video and she looked so ill. I just thought it was unspeakably cruel.

Phatgurslyms · 05/09/2025 22:48

What is going on? I have never seen Middleton get such negativity on MN. I am clutching my (fake) pearls in shock.

EmmaRose89 · 05/09/2025 23:49

Would not call it negativity. Most posts are saying they like Kate but dont think the colour and length suit her and they prefer her with darker, shorter hair. Most criticism is for her hair stylist/colourist.
A few posts go too far, in my opinion.
And a few are just crazy, in my opinion.

Yes we do.

No, definitely just you!

Must be a new reader, then!

Outig · 06/09/2025 09:35

I just saw some video footage and other photos and her hair looks totally normal, I think the photo on the steps was bad timing and her hair must have been tousled by the wind or she had been leaning over previously and it was still all pouffy.

Her hair looks lovely in the video footage, and she looks beautiful, William always looks gorgeous with a tan.

And the band played on.

Catherine Middleron always wore extensions, everyone with eyes can see, even though she tried to deny once, which is crazy. But this time she seems she is wearing doll extensions and look really sickly or at not well mentally .

Now what I wonder is who is the hairdresser that allowed it? Are they setting her up or she wanted to look like a MAGA wife? Because she is remembering Melania here

PurpleChrayn is Jewish.

Using her post about other Jewish women as an excuse to attack black women and Meghan is lowest of the low.

@JustPassingThymeSurely, you had enough of posts like that. Please ask for your thread to be deleted.

I am white but even i know that when discussing wigs it is essential to recognise that the context surrounding black women’s hair is vastly different from that of a white woman
For centuries, afro hair has been the subject of ridicule ,discrimination and marginalisation
The Princess of Wales does not face the same historical context when it comes to hair .
Comparing wig wearing black women to the Princess of Wales is problematic because it overlooks the unique challenges faced in a world that historically denigrated black women’s natural hair
I hope hat you understand now

Spot on. Not every discussion about the matter springs from ignorance.

JaninaDuszejko · 06/09/2025 13:29

I think that she has changed her hair but not her clothes or makeup. As someone who naturally has dark blond hair I'd never choose to wear the colours she's wearing. So although her skin tone and eye colour obviously haven't changed she probably needs to choose different colours with that hair colour, e.g. a red shirt would have worked better than the white one.

She's a middle aged woman who presumably owns a mirror, her hairdresser isn't the boss of her and doesn't get the final day in what she is allowed to look like

prelovedusername · 06/09/2025 14:34

I don’t think this was the best of the hairpieces she’s worn because her hair didn’t look as natural as it normally does. It seemed to overwhelm her a bit. But 99% of the time she gets it spot on, so one slightly offish hair day isn’t a bad record.

I hope she doesn’t see some of the more unkind comments made about how she looked that day, I do wonder how her mental health must be after the ordeal she and her family have gone through.

Makemydaypunk · 06/09/2025 14:38

and this is just a thread critiquing her hair apparently…..

Well said. I agree, I couldn't find the right wording without coming across odd.
There is comparison.
Since white women started wearing hair extensions it opened the market, supply and demand issues, shaving the head of the poorer women in society for money.
