Stylist Sarah Gadston later shared more insight while speaking to the Daily Mail. “After a sun-soaked holiday in Greece, Kate returned not only with a refreshed spirit but also with naturally lightened hair. The combination of sea air, sunshine, and saltwater had gently lifted her hair to a softer shade—creating the perfect starting point for her next salon visit,” she explained.
At the time, Kate hadn’t made any deliberate changes to her hair. This week, however, that changed.
On Tuesday, the Princess of Wales carried out several engagements in the North of England. By the final appearance of the day, she had swapped her usual formal style for a more relaxed outfit, opting for jeans, walking boots, and a warm winter coat. Still, it wasn’t her clothing that caught the most attention.
Fans focused instead on her hair.
A new hairstyle fans loved
Rather than her familiar soft waves, Kate wore her hair in a plait draped over her shoulder. The casual, effortless style quickly earned praise online.
“Obsessed with her hair in a plait,” one person wrote on X, according to Express.
Another added, “Wow love it.”
