Kate Middleton is keeping royal fans on their tippy toes with her hair switch-ups! Just days after being spotted with lighter blonde flair, the Princess of Wales stepped out at the Women’s Rugby World Cup on Saturday, September 6, 2025, rocking her traditional brunette hair. Attending the England vs. Australia game in East Sussex, the mother of three styled a chill vibe with a simple, loose ponytail. She was spotted wearing golden earrings by Cartier, an elegant, tailored Crepe Blazer in black from Alexander McQueen, and a Cascade Ruffle Blouse in Sandwashed silk satin by Knatchbull, all the perfect ingredients that whisper quiet luxury.
Kate Middleton’s hair moments have sparked mixed reactions on the Internet, with many criticising her appearance on social media. Stepping out to defend her from online trolls, Sam McKnight, who was Princess Diana’s personal hairstylist in the ’90s, called out these haters on an Instagram post, saying:
“A woman’s hair is very personal to her, it’s [armor], [defense], confidence, and so much more.”
Besides ending her blonde era, Kate Middleton was also booked and busy in her role as patron of the Rugby Football Union. The Princess of Wales officially took on the title in February 2022, being assigned to her after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped down from the monarchy. Meanwhile, Prince William headed to Exeter for the Wales vs. Fiji match in his role as patron of the Welsh Rugby Union.
