Kate Middleton encounters backing amid fresh hairstyle: "Stop criticizing her"
In a recent interview with Us Weekly, Grant Harrold, a former royal butler and author of the book The Royal Butler: My Remarkable Life of Royal Service, shared his thoughts on Kate Middleton's new hairstyle.
The Princess of Wales, who recently returned from her summer break alongside Prince William, has been sporting a new blonde look. Harrold expressed his admiration for Middleton, stating, "Kate Middleton looks beautiful."
Harrold also pointed out that Middleton is not one to drastically change her appearance. Instead, she makes subtle changes that reflect her personal style. He said, "Kate Middleton does not reinvent herself, but makes little changes."
The former royal butler also emphasized that Middleton's new hairstyle is a result of her wanting to feel good and look beautiful, and not due to any underlying health issues or the use of a wig, as some speculated. He urged everyone to "embrace" Middleton's new hair, stating, "Let's celebrate Kate Middleton's new look and her courage to make changes."
Harrold also took the opportunity to defend Middleton against criticism, stating, "Kate Middleton has been through a difficult time, and it's important to be supportive and understanding." He went on to say, "We should focus on her strength and resilience, rather than her appearance."
Harrold's book, The Royal Butler: My Remarkable Life of Royal Service, was published in 2025 and is currently being promoted by the author. In the book, Harrold shares his experiences working for the royal family and offers insights into the royal household.
Kate Middleton's new hairstyle has certainly caught the attention of fans, who have been eagerly awaiting her return from her summer break. With Harrold's support and encouragement, it seems that Middleton is enjoying her new look and is not afraid to make changes.
