You’d think that after all Kate Middleton has been through, she’d be the last royal to be on the receiving end of criticism. We have Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for that! But rumors are spreading about the Princess of Wales, not based on something she’s done, but on how she now looks. Prince William’s wife has transformed her look by giving her hair color a natural blonde overall. While some fans speculate it to be simple dye, many others believe she’s sporting a wig, and a bad one, at that.
“Pretty sure that’s a wig or some kind of hairpiece,” points out an online user on YouTube. “This one straight looks like a bad wig,” adds a Redditor. “It definitely looks like one to me,” agrees another commenter. Thousands of others across the board are certain that Middleton is wearing a wig, with some claiming they knew she’d been using wigs, extensions, and wiglets for years. Especially since she went through a gruesome year of chemotherapy to treat her cancer in 2024, this assumption isn’t too far-fetched. That, and people point out how the hairline doesn’t look right since the Princess has swapped over to this new blonde look.
Fans Say the Princess’s New Color Doesn’t Fit Her
And it’s not just fans branding her as having “bad wig” energy. Many are also saying that the color doesn’t suit her at all. “The color is just… so… not it,” remarks a commenter on Reddit. “I don’t think the shade suits her,” chimes in another, with thousands upvoting in agreement. Plenty of others added that being blonde makes her look older and that the color is anything but flattering for her appearance. Several people even commented on her skin tone, saying that it doesn’t match her blonde hair.
Of course, not everyone thinks Kate Middleton’s new hair color is bad, with many outlets and fans praising her for her look. Speaking with a royal hairstylist, Vanity says that the Princess’s choice of hair color might start a trend. Whatever the case, Catherine has been through a lot last year, and countless fans cheered her on as she got through her cancer treatment, alongside King Charles. Naturally, there are haters and critics out there, but seeing such an overwhelming number of people bash her new look is surprising, to say the least. With the alleged claims that she is wearing a wig or that the color doesn’t fit her, it does seem a bit unfair for people to criticize the appearance of someone who has overcome cancer.
