Kate sported a similar makeover three years ago when she was seen taking Prince Louis to school for his first day with Prince William, Prince George, and Princess Charlotte. At the time, the blonder color was referred to as “bronde” – a mix of blonde and bronde which sparked a trend in salons around the country. Kate’s latest look is bolder and shows a new confidence in the royal, who has made a gradual return to work since successfully completing a course of chemotherapy last year.
Kate and William looked thrilled to be back on duty now that the summer holidays are over and their children are back at school. Kate is patron of the Natural History Museum and was greeted by the museum’s director, Doug Gurr, who introduced them to children who benefit from the museum’s learning programs which take place in the newly opened gardens, where scientists and visitors can experience and learn about wildlife in the centre of London. The Natural History Museum’s Urban Nature Project has seen more than 7,500 schools, colleges, and nurseries getting involved so far and is inspiring action in young people by developing their connection with nature.
Kate is passionate about the importance of nature and children spending time in nature, a theme that shaped her Back to Nature play garden at the Chelsea Flower Show in 2019.
Recently, Princess Kate spoke about the importance of nature in her healing journey following her cancer diagnosis last year. In a video she released on social media over the summer, she reiterated the importance of reconnecting with nature.
Thursday’s visit comes after a busy summer for the Prince and Princess of Wales, which included a trip to Kefalonia aboard a luxury superyacht.
William and Kate usually spend their summer in Norfolk at their countryside home Anmer Hall but following a tough year for the family, they decided to travel overseas and enjoyed “the holiday of a lifetime,” according to one royal source.
They adhered to the tradition of traveling to Scotland at the end of the holidays and were in Balmoral for the recent August Bank holiday with King Charles and Queen Camilla and were seen driving to church.
The late Queen Elizabeth II used to host a long weekend for her family and looked forward to welcoming her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren to the castle every year. It is a tradition King Charles has continued and one William and Catherine look forward to each year.
