Kate Middleton has changed her hair color back to brunette after negative comments about her blonde hair.

Once More, Kate Middleton Went Back to Her Signature Style

Kate Middleton may have changed her mind about her hair quite recently.
Last month, the 43-year-old Princess of Wales shocked the royal fans with her blond hair, and she was seen with the lighter shade again on Thursday.
Her hair however at the Women’s Rugby World Cup on Saturday seemed to be significantly darker.
Kate looked like she was back to her usual brown hair in several pictures taken from different perspectives as she both interacted with spectators and attended the game.

Mixed Reactions Prompt Defense from Celebrity Hairstylist

The transformation is likely to be a positive surprise for a lot of people. While a few royal enthusiasts applauded Kate’s blonde debut, the majority of them were negative in their responses.
The negative voices became so loud that Sam McKnight, the ex-hairdresser of Princess Diana, decided to take a stand on the side of the Princess of Wales. He used the social media platform to reject the “nasty comments” that circulated the new look of her.
“I am astounded, shocked, disappointed, and disgusted with all the vile things that are said about the Princess of Wales today.” he told, quoting that a person’s hair is the most personal thing – “it is protection, defence, confidence and a lot more besides.”

Sam McKnight Calls Out Online Cruelty Amid Kate’s Cancer Battle

“I cannot believe how evil and lacking in empathy the comments are — many of them, shockingly, from other women — directed at a young, vulnerable woman who has no choice but to bravely face the public because of the role she married into,” wrote McKnight.
The famous stylist mentioned Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnosis, implying that he thought ‘she would “still choose to be away from the public arena.” In 2024, March, the Princess of Wales informed that she had been diagnosed with a certain type of cancer.
“Through and through, and very quietly, she has been selfless in representing the UK, the soft power that we are still,” McKnight went on. “Cancer is different in each case and very much a turning point in life for all. So FFS — don’t bother her. You deserve no less than being scolded.”

A Difficult Journey and New Hope

In March 2024, the Princess of Wales disseminated a video statement that unfolded that she was a cancer patient and was on chemotherapy. Later on, in September 2024, she proclaimed that she was free of cancer. Paul sharing the experience of the “very hard” time with his family, however, sent out a message that the struggle with the disease “rekindled her faith in the future and gave her more love for life.”

Kate’s Gradual Shift to Blonde

In 2024, Kate decided to try out honey-toned shades which were new for her and thus she ended up with those shades by experimenting with the warmer ones. Together with Prince William, they celebrated their 14th wedding anniversary in April, and on that very day, she had a royal visit to the Isle of Mull and was snapped with a lighter color of her hair. Her golden highlights were quite strong when she got to Wimbledon in July. On August 24, she was seen at a Sunday church service at Crathie Kirk in Balmoral, Scotland, with the lightest hair color that she had ever had. A little while after that, on September 4, she better showed her blonde at a London engagement with William.
