Princess Kate's long blonde hair is stunning new chapter in her royal style

Prince William and Princess Kate made a much-awaited appearance following the summer break with a visit to London's Natural History Museum today.

The future queen, who never fails to mesmerise with her elegant looks, brought a change to her style this time by showing off a new blonde hair colour.

It's certainly a bold choice for a princess. For context, Kate along with the rest of the royal family, spent last month on holiday at Balmoral last. The royal couple was warmly greeted by the museum's director, Doug Gurr, before heading inside to officially kick off the return to their royal duties.

Kate's hair change was first noticed on August, 24, when cameras captured her driving to church near Balmoral Castle with Prince William and their kids, Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7.

Her new look is undoubtedly a shift from her trademark brunette style to lighter shades.

The Princess is currently super heading a project,' Mother Nature.' The summer episode of the Mother Nature Films was released last month.

During today's visit, the royal couple met children taking part in learning programmes, and interestingly, they were also welcomed by a downpour of rain.
