Kate Middleton revealed that she’s rocking her blondest hair ever during her latest appearance with Prince William and their kids.
On Aug. 24, the Princess of Wales, 43, was photographed driving to and from church at Crathie Kirk near Balmoral Castle in Aberdeenshire, Scotland with her family, where cameras captured her sporting her blondest hair ever.

The look marked a departure from Kate’s most recent public appearance, as her hair was darker when she stepped out in July.
The Princess of Wales attended the final two days of the Wimbledon Championships on July 12 and 13, during which her hair was a richer shade of brown.

Like many women, Kate had experimented with her hair through the years, making subtle adjustments to the color and style.
The royal previously sported similar sun-kissed tresses in 2019 and briefly switched it up with curtain bangs in 2023, but she has never deviated far from her go-to bouncy blowout.
