Princess Kate debuted a significantly lighter hair color during a recent family outing. The Princess of Wales, 43, was seen with noticeably blonder locks as she and Prince William, also 43, drove to Crathie Kirk near Balmoral for Sunday services. Their children, Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7, accompanied them.
The Princess opted for a berry-colored coat and hat, complemented by drop earrings. Prince William wore a dark suit with a light blue patterned tie, while Princess Charlotte sported a cream cardigan over a polka dot dress.
King Charles and Queen Camilla were also seen arriving for the service. The King wore a dark suit with a pink shirt and tartan tie, while the Queen chose a colorful printed dress with a cream wrap and feathered hat.
The royal family is currently enjoying their annual summer retreat at Balmoral Castle in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. While Princess Kate has naturally light hair, she has typically maintained a darker shade as an adult. This new, blonder look marks a more dramatic shift for the Princess.
