Overview

• The Prince and Princess of Wales made their first public outing after the summer break at the Natural History Museum’s newly redesigned gardens in London, where Kate is patron.
• Photographs showed noticeably lighter, longer hair in a blonde tone, confirming a gradual change seen from July’s Wimbledon highlights to late-August Balmoral sightings.
• Kate opted for flat suede loafers instead of her typical high heels, signaling a subtle shift in her look at the engagement.
• She previously disclosed cancer treatment in 2024 and said in January she had completed chemotherapy and was in remission, with no new official medical updates since.
• Some outlets cited a patient’s account that she did not use a cold cap during chemotherapy, a second-hand report that has not been officially confirmed.
