Kate Middleton has showcased her gorgeous ‘blonde’ hair during a visit to a mental health charity today (November 27).

A while back, royal fans were shocked to see the Princess of Wales’ hair had changed, with it looking much more blonde than it ever had before.

And over the last few outings, it appeared even more blonde. But today when she stepped out at the Anna Freud Centre, it was Kate’s hair that stole the show.

Kate Middleton shows off stunning hair at Anna Freud Centre

Today, Kate visited a mental health charity, Anna Freud. The princess has been a patron of the charity for nearly 10 years.

The trip was to focus on the “vital role of relationships and connection in shaping babies, children and young people’s future life outcomes”.

It comes as Kate’s Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood launches a new project with the charity to enhance the skills of health visitors to support early social and emotional development.

The princess began her visit by meeting families who had been working with Anna Freud and the Institute of Health Visitors to shape the new scheme.

Kate spoke to father-of-three Andrew Apraku. She said: “Thank you for being here, it’s so important we hear from fathers right from the get-go.” She then turned to his eight-month-old son Judah, who held onto her finger. Kate gushed: “You are very smiley.”

For the visit, Kate wore a black and white Emilia Wickstead dress, along with grey pumps, a brown bag and earrings. And she had previously worn the same outfit to Harvard University during a 2022 trip to America.

But one thing that was of note, was that her lighter hair appeared fresh, with many thinking she had got highlights topped up.

Fans gush over Princess of Wales appearance

Responding to some images of Kate that were shared on social media from her outing today, royal fans were all loving her hairstyle.

One penned: “Kate looks stunning as usual.”

Another added: “I do love how blonde Princess Kate’s hair looks.”

A third fan posted a video of Kate meeting fans outside the charity, which a royal fan responded: “Stunning and so sweet. Princess of Wales. I do love her.”

“The Princess of Wales looks absolutely stunning and effortlessly graceful today. Pure elegance and inspiration,” another added.

What has Kate said about her blonde hair?

In a recent trip to the Royal Variety performance, Kate actually spoke about her hair, and how it appears lighter than before.

She told actress Su Pollard that it actually hasn’t changed colour because of the dye. But instead because of the weather outside.

She revealed: “It used to be brown. But it has gone light in the sunshine.”

So, it seems we now know the secret to how Kate got her hair looking so bright and beautiful! And we hope she keeps it up.
