Kate Middleton’s mystifying hair trick leaves fans stunned
Kate Middleton left fans stunned after pulling her hair back into a low ‘do — without using a hair tie or clip.
On Thursday, the Princess of Wales, 43, made a series of royal visits to different mills in London. When she arrived at Marina Mill in Cuxton, she decided to give screen printing a go.
Middleton removed her suit jacket, tied a black apron around her torso and then pinned up her long, brown hair, which she wore down and styled in loose waves.
A video posted to X via a Middleton fan account showed the natural brunette grabbing her thick locks, twisting them into a ponytail and wrapping them into a bun.
Without any hair accessories whatsoever, she secured her tresses by tucking them under the bun at the nape of her neck.
Moreover, the Duchess of Cambridge never broke eye contact or conversation with the craftsmen and women who were demonstrating the trade.
“Just the Princess of Wales effortlessly putting her hair into a bun with no hair ties or clips at all today 💅🏼,” the fan account wrote alongside the clip.
“There’s nothing this woman can’t do perfectly because girl… how did she do it?!? 😭,” one person replied, as another claimed they would “never do this so properly 😂.”
“I need a slow motion video from eight different angles,” someone else quipped, while a fourth netizen noted, “Looks like this is something she does all the time. And it doesn’t look messy.”
Middleton’s hair has been making headlines lately.
Last week, she debuted long, blond locks while stepping out for a joint appearance with her husband, Prince William.
Middleton, who battled cancer last year, showed off the lighter tresses at the Natural History Museum’s newly renovated gardens in London.
The princess opted for a dark blond shade with a slightly off-center part, complete with honey highlights.
However, the look was only temporary.
Days later, she was pictured happily taking in the Women’s Rugby World Cup with a darker ‘do — albeit tinged with muted golden undertones — pulled into a half ponytail.
The mother of three — who shares Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7, with the Prince of Wales — has been easing back into her royal routine after going into remission in January.
She has said it will take time to get back to her regular schedule after fighting “an incredibly tough battle” with the “complex, scary and unpredictable” disease.
Middleton, who married William in April 2011, revealed in March 2024 that she had been diagnosed with cancer, not specifying the type.
At the time, she explained that she had undergone “major abdominal surgery” for an unspecified “condition” that she thought was “non-cancerous.” However, the operation led to the diagnosis.
The duchess announced in September 2024 that she had completed her chemotherapy treatments.
