She’s been looking blonder of late

rincess Kate has finally shed light on her changing hair colour, which has baffled royal fans over the past few months.

The Princess of Wales caused confusion earlier this year as she returned from her summer break debuting stunning blonde locks, before appearing to return to her signature brunette only days later. More recently, she has once again been spotted looking more golden.

At last, the royal has spilled the secret behind the seamless transformations.

Princess Kate explains hair transformation

According to the Daily Mail, Kate made the revelation in a backstage chat with Su Pollard at Wednesday’s (November 19) Royal Variety Performance.  She attended the star-studded event with hubby Prince William for the first time in two years.

The Princess of Wales wowed on the Royal Albert Hall’s red carpet in a green velvet bodycon gown. The Prince of Wales matched his wife in a velvet jacket, completing the look with a bow tie.

As the actress complimented Kate, telling her: “I like your hair, it looks a lot lighter”, Kate reportedly explained: “It used to be brown, but it’s gone light in the sunshine.”

The princess certainly had ample time to soak up the sun over the summer, as she reportedly enjoyed some time away sailing around the Greek islands aboard a superyacht with her family.

Princess of Wales’ symbolic earrings

There was also another part of the royal’s look that caught the attention of fans. Kate accessorised her stunning dress with a pair of statement diamond earrings.

As well as looking beautiful, the jewels apparently have ties to a number of important royal women.

Speaking to Marie Claire, Nilesh Rakholia of Abelini jewellery identified the earrings as the Greville Chandelier Earrings.

The earrings are said to be “composed of 16 diamonds across multiple cuts”.

They included “baguette, baton, emerald, pear, half-moon and square—which is why they are often described as a ‘lexicon of modern diamond cutting.’”

The earrings are apparently part of a set that was handed down to the late Queen Mother by Margaret Greville. They were then gifted to the late Queen Elizabeth II by her parents on her wedding day.

It seemed a fitting occasion for Kate to wear the earrings.

The Royal Variety took place on the eve of what would have been Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip’s 78th wedding anniversary, November 20.

Queen Camilla was also spotted wearing another part of the Greville collection this week. At Tuesday night’s (November 18) Diplomatic Corps Reception she sported the Greville Emerald Kokshnik tiara, famously worn by Princess Eugenie on her wedding day in 2018.
