Kate Middleton Shows Off Her Blonde Hair During The Duchess Of Kent's Funeral

Earlier this month, the royal family dealt with the loss of Katharine, Duchess of Kent, who passed away at 92 years old on September 4th. Right before their official state visit with the Trumps, members of the royal family attended her funeral on the 16th, which took place at Westminster Cathedral in London.

 

Aside from King Charles and Queen Camilla, Kate and Prince William were in attendance as well, and the Princess of Wales had on a chic and sophisticated outfit that made headlines. But what also made headlines was her hair, which was worn down and curled, allowing photographers to capture pictures of her latest blonde color.

 

Earlier this summer, she was photographed in a car on the way to church, ever so slightly teasing her new shade. But a little while later, after she was seen touring the gardens alongside William at London's Museum of Natural History, fans felt something seemed a bit 'off' about her look, and several internet trolls accused her of wearing a "cheap" looking blonde wig.

 

For the funeral, her hair seemed much more natural, with her light blonde highlights or balayage effortlessly blending with her natural brunette color.

The Internet Reacts To Kate's Latest Hair Transformation

While they may have left some more brutal comments about her hair in the past, more fans are opening up to the mom-of-three's new hair color, finding that it started looking better at the funeral. As per usual, once pictures and videos of her at the event were shared on social media, fans took to the comments section to praise her looks.

 

"She looks amazing and elegant," wrote a fan on Instagram. "Period."

 

"Catherine always looks stunning," added another.

 

"I like her hair," wrote an Instagram user, as another commented that the princess "looks lovely."

 

Another commenter even compared her blonde hair to superstar singer Celine Dion.

 

It's unclear as to how long the royal icon is going to keep her blonde hair, or if she'll be back to brunette by the fall. However, it looks like her fans and other internet users are beginning to warm up to it even more.
