Some adore it, and some hate it (and a lot more have said it’s clearly a wig). But as many know by now, Catherine, Princess of Wales, better known as Kate Middleton, is a blonde! After being a brunette her whole life, she’s embracing being a blonde; and stylists speculate the reason why.
Her new ‘do, which many speculate was done by Mario Charalambous, salon director at Richard Ward’s London salon, is a perfect mix of the two hair colors, giving Kate a more “bronde” look instead of straight blonde. But again, why the change?

Well, Emilie Venturini, senior colourist at Jo Hansford Mayfair, revealed to The Daily Mail that many of her clients go bronde, or blonde, to hide the gray hairs.
“For many clients, moving several shades lighter can feel like a big change, which is why we usually advise easing into it gradually. It’s also important to note that as women mature, natural changes in skin pigment and eye colour can affect how hair colour complements their features,” she said.
Celebrity stylist Ed James backed this up, saying, “I guide clients to soften and slightly lighten their colour, or to blend their grays rather than erase them.”
It’s unclear why she made the change, but many experts have speculated, as you can see, that the drastic change could be to help her hair look thicker, or to hide the grays. (Reminder: Gray hair is totally natural, and it’s up to everyone whether they want to embrace it or change up their hair. It’s all about what makes someone feel confident!)
