Stop the press. Put down your tools. Knock out every church bell on the land so that all subjects can hear the joyful news: Kate Middleton is blonde.
Otherwise she might be. It's hard to see from someone who managed to get a picture of her in a car the other day. But this never stopped the world media from writing breathless replicas about the royal family. Some of the reactions I have read online about Kate Middleton’s hair over the past week include: “Why the Welsh Blonde Princess is a beauty vandalist”; “Her freshly faded shadows will never be grand again”; “The Wales Princess’ Blonde Hair Makeup is the ultimate anti-self statement.” Instead: “It’s the perfect fall transformation.” The country and townhouse titled “The truth behind Kate Middleton’s new Blonde Blast”, the fact is: It may be another color now, we’re not sure because there’s only one photo.
Theories about hair abound. An honest psychologist aggravated Fox News on Fox News, which may be Kate’s “restore agency and popularity” after the disease that left her publicly responsible last year and made people all over the world boldly speculate whether she was dead or divorced. Others think the new hair color might be to make it easier for news photographers to hide new grey crops. Apparently, she spent the summer on yachts sailing around the Greek Islands (but stepped on either, but not once, for safety reasons), so others think that the new, lighter colors may just be the effect of time in the sun. Then there is an urgent question about what color and what color is now. Is it blonde? Dear blonde? Dear Blund? Mocha Blund? Toffee blonde? Gold-plated grey taupe? “Antique” blonde, whatever it means? How do we know this is not a wig? Is it temporary? Is it permanent? Is it just a trick to light? Will the change in hairstyle signals change as someone who is indivisible for free time claims that she may announce pregnancy?
I'm grateful to myself for sitting on my computer writing about “Blonde Kate Middleton” but I always find myself wondering who this media madness is. Then, I remember, there were indeed groups of people around the world who were interested in knowing what Kate Middleton's hair was. I may not know any of them, you may not know any of them, but they are there. For example, she is a Stans community known as Repli-Kates or Copykates, who spent time and money recreating her outfits. When this woman wears a dress, that dress will be sold out in minutes. However, there are more people who are not interested in princesses.

On the one hand, it is every woman’s dream of experiencing rough women and deciding to dye her hair blonde as the world media shouts the news from the rooftops. What turned blonde was: I needed people to make a fuss about me right away. From personal experience, this is an important moment. On the other hand, what is quite obsessed is that this kind of focus is on the color of a woman's hair.
But Middleton is certainly not just any woman. She is a woman who lives one of the strangest and most organized lives in the world. Kate Middleton is a brunette. Her role is a basic part of her role, and she is a woman with brown hair. As my colleague said, it could actually be her entire character. There is a reason for this: Her appearance is almost everything that everyone allows her to show. Middleton has completely stabilized the role of the royal family, so much so that any awareness of her actual character is buried under cashmere sweaters and respected Midi dresses. Her job is to be Kate Middleton and look like Kate Middleton. The blonde is just as exciting as Kate Middleton's life. You'll see Kate Middleton riding a mechanical cow in a buttless chap as soon as possible instead of cutting with a pixie. You can't see her thigh skirt.
I think I want this, too, because this is the one picture of Diana sitting alone on the diving board during the year, back to the round on social media, which was a week before she died in late August 1997. Images of princess are very valuable because to become a photo of a princess, it is simplified to images. What to see is Kate Middleton's job, obviously, my job as the British Crown, looking at Kate Middleton, a woman with beautiful hair who is probably blonde now. And the past Empty.
