- On Sept. 4–5, the Princess of Wales joined Prince William at London’s Natural History Museum to open redesigned gardens and meet students.
- Photos showed a markedly lighter, long and voluminous hairstyle compared with her customary brunette look.
- Search interest and social comments fixated on whether the style involved a wig or extensions, and there has been no official clarification.
- Reports floated sun exposure during a family holiday in Greece or a gradual post-treatment shift as possible explanations, and reactions ranged from praise to criticism.
- A celebrity stylist who worked with Princess Diana condemned derogatory remarks about her hair, and one outlet cited an unnamed study claiming a jump in UK requests for highlights.
