In early September, the Prince and Princess of Wales were well aware of Prince Harry’s scheduled visit to the UK on the week of the 8th. William and Kate made a point of running around before and during Harry’s visit, desperately trying to win back the newscycle and get attention for their contrived busywork. One of the funniest moments of this desperation-keenery was Will & Kate’s appearance at the Natural History Museum. Kate looked like she plopped a blonde wig high on her head, although sources later claimed that it was not a full wig, but merely too-light blonde extensions. Whatever the case may be, it was hilarious, and Kate’s blonde wiglet was widely mocked online. Kate and her people knew they f–ked up, because the next time she went out, her hair was suddenly much darker. Instead of admitting that she was experimenting with her look or even trying out some new hairpieces, Kate is now trying to play off the “Blonde Keen” moment as just a misunderstanding because her hair got so light in the sun.
Kate Middleton spoke about the secret to her lighter locks for the first time after her blonder hair color made headlines this fall. On Nov. 19, the Princess of Wales, 43, attended the Royal Variety Performance with Prince William in London and told actress Su Pollard about what caused her lighter color.
According to the Daily Mail, Pollard said that she told the royal, “I like your hair, it looks a lot lighter.”
“It used to be brown, but it’s gone light in the sunshine,” Princess Kate reportedly replied.
The Princess of Wales reportedly revealed the detail during a backstage chat at the event, which marked William and Kate’s return to the red carpet for the first time in two years.
My hair is a lot darker than Kate’s, and when I was a kid, I spent so much time outside my hair got lighter too. But when you have naturally dark hair, you mostly get caramel and auburn streaks, rather than big, chunky, blonde wig-looking hair. Basically, Kate just lies all the time now, about everything and nothing. She told that lie about her wedding makeup for YEARS! She’s told lies about her hair for decades! Some might even say that recollections may vary.

Serious question, will the British media ever start reporting truthfully when it comes to this woman? This is becoming ridiculous
Why does People magazine repeat it?
People repeats the lies because they have turned into a UK tabloid due to having a UK editor. They’ve been like this for years. I noticed the increase of random articles about Kate, and sometimes William, soon after Meghan married into that family. It hasn’t stopped and it’s just them always repeating the lies and talking points of the UK media.
Simon Perry is the royals editor at People and he’s one of those British weirdos about the royals. He’s got a past history in Uk tabloids.
You can trace People being this way to his arrival there.
My question is why was this reported at all? Did the actress call the DM to give them the story or did KP? And who even tells the Princess of Wales at a royal event that they like her hair when it’s lighter? The story doesn’t make any sense.
Fun story. One summer my hair dark brown hair lightened significantly from the sun.
Because I was on a three month back packing trip in the mountains – between 9,000 and 13,000 ft. I wore pigtails one day and my scalp burned and peeled for days and days. We slept inside only a handful of times and we never spent the day inside. It was cloudy one day. One.
My hair didn’t lighten nearly as much as hers nor as uniformly. I had beautiful honey streaks. And more bites and blisters and bruises and random injuries than I can begin to recount. It was amazing. But holy hell it changed how I viewed hiking boots.
So, there are plenty of pictures of Kate out sunbathing and being outdoors when she was younger, so why is this the first time her “hair” has lightened up like this? These pictures get me every time! They remind me of the Game of Thrones episode with the play about the Lannisters and the wig the actress was wearing to play fake Cersei. This wig still makes Kate look like the worst contestant at a Kate lookalike competition.
Ah yes the proven liar strikes again! I am a very dark brunette and as a child and teenager I wished for the sun to lighten my hair. I did try what some other girls were doing by putting lemon juice on my hair to help the sun but alas it didn’t work lol. Why must she lie about so many things.
I have naturally dark hair as well and work outdoors and the most the sun does to mine is give me the occasional orange hair, like just a single hair here and there??? What is she on about?
Yes, Kate’s early pics show dark brown hair with a reddish cast. The sun would not turn her into an ash blond.
I’ve noticed it in their kids, but thats because William is/was blond. She is a fruitloop. She’s been brunette her entire life!
Have to assume it was a panic response at someone looking too closely at the wig that she forgot adults can get highlights. Even if she’s never going to admit to the hairpieces, she doesn’t need to lie about being all-natural LOL.
Louis has the darker hair.
Wait, I actually cannot stop laughing at this absurd lie! Like, she is 44 and has 3 kids and a “health scare” a year ago- just say you wanted to cover your greys FFS! I hope this lie and the inevitable double down goes viral.
How many HOURS of sunbaking on a yacht would it take to go from a level 3-4 to an 8!! It’s so silly it’s beyond belief. But the lie for sure implies they’ve just had a big sunshiny vacation- or at least certainly doesn’t imply a busy, keen queen.
The RR must be tearing their hair out that she’s inadvertently revealed yet another holiday that they can’t report on (was it the 2nd or 3rd trip to Mustique this year?) or a habitually lazy roster, with extensive “nature time” during the daylight hours everyone else is AT WORK.
William has been looking very tan all year. I wonder how often he has been away to sunnier climes.
The BRF would NEVER admit that she got a bad dye job/wiglet situation. My guess is she got highlights and after they lifted her dark hair, they did not put toner/glaze over it (and no one bothered to look at it in sunlight or photograph her to test the look). Then they doubled down and added extensions or a wiglet (they used to be called “falls” – my sister had one in the 70s – it looked like she had a BumpIt in her hair!). They would never admit it was a hair experiment gone wrong. And at my age (61) – I’ve had plenty of them. I’ll bet Kate was given a canned answer to give no offense to anyone nor to throw anyone under the bus (e.g., “colorist did not vet the color properly”). Yes – its not truthful, but they’re not going to cop to a mistake – ever. I will also double down and say she did not discuss her hair color update and the Palace had a $sh*tfit.
She looks bad and the large wig does not fit right. Even those weeks on the yacht could not make the hair that light
I don’t understand the lie about the wigs. People wear wigs every single day, or pieces because they change their style so much that they don’t want to put the undue stress on their actual hair. No one would care, and anyone that puts value on you as a person because your natural hair isn’t long and luxurious is an ass.
The larger point though is that they lie about the most miniscule things all the time, and the press just dutifully repeats it. The same press that claims that they hold them to account. And also the same press that will go through an entire article about Meghan or something that Harry wrote, actually count the amount of words, and try to find some evidence of hyperbole or a metaphor and claim that they are liars.
And then all of this reporting, notice there’s nothing about their events overshadowing Harry who they knew were coming. It must be nice to live a life where you can only be wronged, never wrong.
As she lie to every little useless things, you have to wonder if she is a compulsive liar.
I think it’s very likely the case because this is someone who has lied about the most insignificant things to the most extreme things since the beginning of their relationship and she maintains every lie for years, even decades regardless of how small and insignificant they are. It’s the most bizarre thing.
I mean let’s start with obvious one that her marriage is a lie and not the fairy tale they pretend it to be. Lying about your hair is much easier compared to pretending that William is still attracted to her.
I don’t think its compulsive lying. I think either the Palace feeds her answers THEY want out in the media (which make her look stupid on purpose to mitigate her – I think Cowmilla would enjoy this type of sport) OR she doesn’t know how to answer awkward questions on the fly.
I really don’t know why Kate lies all the time. Anyone with two working brain cells knows that she is wearing a (bad) wig. Just admit it. She always tries to appear perfect and she isn’t the only woman out there to wear a wig.
But she has people help support the lie or try to counter it with saying “ leave her alone cancer”.
So she never really faces up to how stupid this is.
The delusion is really MAGA like.
Why doesn’t she just say “I tried another color” and be done with it? It’s something we all do. She doesn’t even have to admit to wigs or hairpieces, because she wasn’t asked about those. Nobody would blame or criticize her for trying a new color.
These reflexive and completely unnecessary lies are bizarre own goals and raise valid questions about everything else KP could be lying about.
Signed, a natural brunette who never, ever, went that blond in the sun
I don’t know why she feels she has to lie about this? All she had to say is yeah I’ve been trying out some different shades/colours. Plus as a cancer patient she not going to be lying in the sun for so long that her hair turns blonde. It’s just not possible.
It’s not even the lying about the wigs or hair pieces but she’s lying that her hair is just au natural and naturally turned blonde from the sun. Nah. She has enough gray hair that she must be dying the roots brown. So to get blonde at the root she would have to dye it blonde. Are we to believe that she never colors her hair, with highlights or anything? It’s the insistence that she’s naturally like this that gets me. There is no shame in coloring your hair, jeez. Or wearing hair pieces. What a complete weirdo.
Kate had grey in her roots for years. Even before Louis. And it’s not like anyone cares when people dye their hair. But Kate has this disturbing need to pretend all her hair is real and that she is not a middle aged woman.
The uk media only helps with this false image.
I’m really curious if or when she’ll let it go. Bc what’s going to happen? Is she going to be 50 and claiming her hair is all natural, never been colored and yet still devoid of grey? Like it get’s to a point, jeez. The insistence on having done nothing to her hair is wild.
Meanwhile. Meghan touts her colorist so she’s not pretending that she isn’t covering up greys. She even talked about dying over-dark with a box during covid.
After the first appearance with lighter hair, didn’t her hair appear to go back to the darker brown color just a few days later? When she wore it up or half up for an event?
Yes it did. It has altered colors at each outing. As someone else wondered, I think she might be a compulsive liar and the media repeating the obvious lies doesn’t help her. It only makes whatever she does or says questionable.
Yes. Yes, it did.
I don’t get it.
She is a woman in her forties, most women in their forties either have visible greys or color they hair and a lot of my friends wenn with lighter streaks to make covering the greys easier and a few are having extensions to cover (peri-) menopausal hair loss.
Why are the still trying to pretend Kate is a young girl and not an adult woman?
If her hair had bleached in the sun it would have done so every year. Mine went lighter every summer until it turned white.
She is lying like a Kardashian here and I don’t know why People is repeating it.
No one goes from dark brown hair to light blonde, especially living in England where the sun is not direct enough. And it sure won’t be an even spread either. Especially hair that long.
And then it suddenly got less blonde days later after people laughed at the wig. Um sure.
I used to see People magazine as a trustworthy magazine but after seeing how they would write about Kate (specifically) it became obvious that they were just as trashy and untrustworthy as the UK media, like the Fail and the Sun, which they use as sources. My rule of thumb is to never believe media that uses any UK tabloids as credible sources about anything, especially the royals.
Not only is this yet another obvious lie, but the wording irks me. In the “sunshine” sounds like something a 5 year old would say. Would an adult not just say “in the sun”? Or maybe I’m not
familiar enough with UK vocabulary.
It’s like “Mr golden sun shined down on me and made me blond, tee hee hee”. Maybe I’m just grumpy this morning.
I’m sorry but i died at your comment lol
What does this woman not lie about? She’s lied for over a decade about putting on her own makeup for her wedding. A scar at her hairline from childhood that suddenly disappeared and has never been seen again. Not getting baby Botox when it was obvious she had. Wiglets and wigs when we can see them clear as day. Meghan made her cry and the ever changing reasons why including the confirmed Tatler article where it was revealed that KP had read the lie in that lie in the article and still gave the okay for it’s release. The fake butt during the Top Gun premiere. The various photoshopped photos she’s put out over the years where poor Louis loses fingers or Charlotte loses part of an arm. The whole Kate missing fiasco where she was at a hospital where her apparently her invisible parents went to see her because no one saw them going in or out of the hospital during that whole ordeal. The pap photo where they hired a photographer to photograph them at a certain location in Windsor but she conveniently turned her head away to make sure no one saw her face. The planned Kate body double at the farmers market where the media later admitted that KP and the media knew they needed to do something to quiet the online noise about her not being seen for so many months. They lie about little and big things so how can I trust that they wouldn’t lie about cancer. She was okay with a pregnant woman being threatened and abused because of her lie, even when that woman became suicidal while pregnant and even when she learned that that woman miscarried her second pregnancy. They lie because the truth isn’t flattering to who they are so I can’t see limits to what they, especially Kate, are willing to lie about.
I don’t get what the point of being dishonest about this. It’s clearly a hair piece or something like it. She’s a woman in her forties who just battled cancer, no one cares if she wears wigs or hair pieces. Why lie
Because she already told us that she didn’t lose any hair during chemo and that she stopped treatment over a year ago. She can’t really use cancer or chemo as an excuse since she already erased any possibility of it at the time of her alleged treatments. At the time she could have used it as an excuse she was spending unadvised 🚫☀️time in the sun on the beach and roaming outdoors in nature ☀️🌳 🌾.
Kate lies because she’s protected and there’s no accountability. She knows it. Tomorrow’s tabloid headlines will be negative stories about Meghan, not about Kate’s blatant lie about her hair.
Nailed it. People mag & tabloids will uncritically report this lie as if we don’t have eyes.
But if Meghan ever dared to try similar they’d have pictures with timeline of appearances highlighting the different hair shades within days of appearances & have hair colour specialists comment on impact of sun on hair & their thoughts on it it’s the sun, peroxide or a wig with a headline about did Meghan fib – here’s the experts verdict etc
I will never believe that KKKhate had cancer BUT IF her cancer story were true, she has no business spending hours in the sun trying to lighten her hair. Chemotherapy patients are advised to avoid sunlight. She’s lying again.
Sure
she should have attributed it to chemo.
that said, I have never seen anyone come through chemo with hair that looks the same as before. cuirly where it once was straight, white/dark, etc.
AND after most forms of chemo you are much more prone to sun and windburn. Cellular damage is a thing. Even if you ignore how little sun one gets in the UK.
this more we see of her the more dubious her story seems. I’ve seen/known/treated hundreds of people with cancer over the course of my medical career and I cannot recall a single one that emerged from treatment looking the same as when they went in.
‘Light fom the sunshine ” Sure.
*Lucille Bluth winking gif*
I have light brown – dark blond hair. It never gets this light unless I die it….
It’s childish and she always talks like that. Just like when she calls children “the kiddies.” She thinks it is cute and homey. She is so deeply infantilized I don’t think she even consciously realizes it.
Do you think it’s a Goldsmith genetic trait?
Gary: ‘Carole was a ‘multi’ (millionare) before she was 30.
‘I’ll be giving Kate away at the wedding’.
‘My sister was the original Sloane Ranger’
Carole: Yes suppliers, you’ll be paid don’t worry.
James: I’m a successful entrepreneur, your capital is safe with me.
Kate : here’s an authentic photo of me and my children.
And on, and on…
She can do whatever she wants with her hair, but of course these people can also say whatever they want because they are above the law. In all their arrogance, they think people are very stupid and they don’t care at all if they get caught spreading lies. They will become king and can do whatever they want, right?
