The Princess of Wales has become iconic for her gorgeous bouncy blow-drys.
Whether sharing snippets of her family life with Prince William and three children or out on public engagements, the royal, 42, always dons a pristine hairdo that perfectly completes her flawless look.

Her long hair fell over her shoulders and was not neatly parted down the middle as she often wears it. Her locks also featured natural highlighted strands around her face, seemingly bleached by the sun.

In April 2022, the mother of three attended the Anzac Day Service of Commemoration and Thanksgiving at Westminster Abbey wearing an oversized white headband from Jane Taylor with a black bow at the back.
