Kate Middleton has been making the headlines since her latest public appearance on September 4, as Megha Markle and her cooking show's visibility dropped significantly.
The Prince and Princess of Wales stepped out on Thursday to resume their royal engagements. The royal couple visited the Natural History Museum in London.
The future King and Queen toured newly transformed gardens and witnessed the impact of the National Education Nature Park programme for the youth.
However, a detail that grabbed the attention of fans was Princess Catherine's blonde hair transformation.
Where many netizens questioned her choices, a royal expert decoded the powerful message Kate is giving with her new look.
In conversation with Fox News, Amanda Matta said, "I love that Kate's new look isn’t a ‘full send’ into platinum blonde territory; it’s more of a ‘bronde’ moment. It's a soft transition that keeps her rooted in her brunette base (which the public knows so well) while testing out lighter tones."
The royal commentator believes that Princess Kate made this decision deliberately in order to "reclaim" her visibility after a challenging health battle and showcase her "strength."
She added, "It’s a way of saying she's back on the scene for fall, but she's adapting to a new normal. This was the perfect moment to debut this new look! The children's school year is starting, the summer break is behind them, and it’s a natural point to re-engage the public."
Princess Kate's hair makeover must have given her a "personal boost" after completing her chemotherapy.
