Princess Kate receives special tribute after cruel backlash

Princess Kate received a special gift after facing harsh criticism over her hair makeover.

For the unversed, the Prince and Princess of Wales resumed their royal engagements with a visit to the Natural History Museum a few days ago.

Since Catherine's outing, a debate about her blonde hair has started on social media. Some fans are calling it a wig, whereas others believe the hair transformation made her look old. 

A social media user wrote on X, "I hope this is a wig because Kate Middleton’s new look is just plain awful."

On the other hand, the well-wishers of Kate, especially a former hairstylist of the late Princess Diana, called out the cruel critics. 

Sam McKnight wrote on Instagram, "I am shocked, horrified, dismayed and disgusted by all the nasty comments about the Princess of Wales today. A woman’s hair is very personal to her, it’s armour, defence, confidence, and so much more."

Amid the growing criticism, the future Queen stepped out to support Team England at the Women's Rugby World Cup.

Now, a video shared by a fan account on Instagram showcased Princess Kate receiving a beautiful crochet red flowers from one of the rugby team members. 

The Princess was seen "overwhelmed" by the sweet gesture of Abby and called her gift "amazing."
