Kate Middleton Debuts Blonde Hair Transformation in Scottish Church Outing

Kate Middleton is ready to have more fun.

The Princess of Wales debuted a new blonde hairdo as she and her family, including husband Prince William and kids Prince George, 13, Princess Charlotte, 11 and Prince Louis, 8, enjoyed a stay at the royal residence Balmoral Castle in Aberdeen, Scotland. 

Kate showed off her blonde ambition as the royals arrived for services at Crathie Kirk Church Aug. 23, smiling in the family car while wearing a pillbox hat and ruffled collar white shirt under a blazer. The 44-year-old completed the look with dangling gold earrings.

While Kate often keeps it classic with her fashion choices, she’s not afraid to mix it up with her hair, also opting for a blonde balayage style last September when she and William visited the Natural History Museum in London.  

And her lighter locks often get an assist from the family’s summer adventures, as according to Daily Mail Kate told actress Su Pollard at the Royal Variety Performance in November her hair “used to be brown, but it’s gone light in the sunshine.”
