Princess Kate debuts lighter hair with Royals at Balmoral service

Princess Kate Middleton debuted a noticeably lighter, blonde hair color during a Sunday church service at Crathie Kirk near Balmoral, where she was accompanied by Prince William and their three children. The royal family, including King Charles, Queen Camilla, and Princess Anne, attended the service, maintaining their annual tradition during their summer retreat to Balmoral Castle. While some sources suggest the hair color change could be due to summer sunlight, others note it as a deliberate transformation. This appearance also underscores the royal family's unity amid ongoing tensions with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, following their departure from official royal duties and subsequent public revelations. The last joint public appearance between William, Kate, Harry, and Meghan was three years ago after Queen Elizabeth II's death, and the feud between the brothers has since worsened. Former Royal editor Duncan Larcombe commented on the deepening rift, noting the lasting impact of events like the Oprah Winfrey interview on their relationship.
