Princess Kate Returns to Brunette,Sparks Criticism & Defense From Diana‘s Former Hairdresser
Princess Kate,the wife of the heir to the British throne,has subtly shifted her hair color back to a darker shade after recently experimenting with lighter tones. The change has ignited a mixed reaction, with some praising the move as a more youthful look, while others criticized it as unflattering. Speculation arose online regarding a possible return of the cancer Kate publicly announced battling earlier this year.
The shift back to brunette has also drawn the attention of celebrity hairstylist Sam McKnight, who famously styled the hair of Princess Diana. McKnight vehemently defended Kate against harsh online commentary, stating on instagram, “I am shocked and disgusted by nauseating comments. Hair is defense, shield and confidence for women. To attack someone who has gone through cancer is simply shameful.” He continued, “I can’t believe how bad and without empathy are comments, most of whom apparently come from other women attacking a vulnerable young woman who married and what role she coudl not publicly defend.”
Despite ongoing scrutiny regarding her hair color, observers noted a positive change during Kate’s appearance at a women’s rugby match between England and Australia: a visible and happy smile.
