Others rushed to defend the Princess, applauding both her confidence and her style. “I think her hair is sensational. Each to their own, I guess,” one fan commented, while another gushed: “Beautiful even blonde.” A third added: “Her smile is the sun of the UK. Always beautiful.”

“The perfect starting point”

Whether Kate Middleton actively decided to dye her hair blonde or not is the big question. The Daily Mail citing experts who stated that it could very well be the saltwater and Greek sunshine that did the trick.

Meanwhile, stylist Sarah Gadston told the Daily Mail that although the sunshine may be a factor, the fact that Kate has gone blonde could also be seen in a broader perspective of her role as future queen.

“After a sun-soaked holiday in Greece, Kate returned not only with a refreshed spirit but also with naturally lightened hair,” stylist Sarah Gadston said.
