Kate Middleton and Prince William have returned to their royal duties after the summer break with the Princess of Wales stepping out with her striking new blonde hair colour. The future King and Queen paid a visit to London’s Natural History Museum today and Kate, who is known for her signature brunette locks, looked gorgeous with her new autumn look.
The 43-year-old, who was diagnosed with cancer last year, wore a casual shirt and blazer combination for the meeting as she debuted her new hairdo. Snaps first hinted at Kate’s new look while she and the rest of the Royal Family were on holiday in Balmoral last month.
William and Kate were met by the museum’s director Doug Gurr at the gates of the iconic London institution before heading inside to officially commence the return to their royal duties. Their visit comes the day after the new term began for the couple’s three kids, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, who all attend the private Lambrook School near Ascot in Berkshire.
Kate’s new look appears to be several shades lighter than her usual colour with fans taking to social media to gush over how gorgeous she looks.

They spoke with the youngsters and joined in on activities that aimed at helping them connect with nature and boost biodiversity in central London.

It’s a rainy day in London with the royals being met by a heavy downpour when they arrived at the school to meet the kids which resulted in them huddling together under umbrellas to stay dry.
William and Kate were shown how cutting-edge technology is being used in the garden to inform the museum’s conservation and research biodiversity projects.
The couple then joined schoolchildren from Lewisham in south London to take part in a pond dipping session, before meeting students from Manchester who have been working on building new habitats on their school grounds through the National Education Nature Park initiative.
Over 7,500 schools, colleges and nurseries have got involved in the project to transform their grounds into nature-rich spaces – boosting biodiversity, green skills and wellbeing – under the project led by the museum working with the Royal Horticultural Society and commissioned by the Department for Education..
The gardens, which feature grassland, wetland and woodland habits, opened in 2024 and are said to serve as a living laboratory, where visitors and scientists can identify and monitor wildlife in an urban environment.
Environmental innovation and connecting young people to nature are issues that mean a lot to both William and Kate.
Prince William spotlights and celebrates innovative solutions from around the world through his Earthshot Prize which aims to tackle the biggest environmental challenges that Earth faces.
