Kate Middleton is lightening up her look.
The Princess of Wales showed off her fresh honey blond highlights while traveling to a church service at Crathie Kirk in Scotland over the weekend.
In photos obtained by Page Six, the royal’s lighter hair can be seen as she sits shotgun in an SUV with her family while pulling up to Balmoral Castle.
Middleton wore a herringbone tweed blazer by Ralph Lauren for the outing, along with a white lacy Holland Cooper blouse, a Sylvia Fletcher for Lock & Co. hat and what appeared to be a pair of Lauren Ralph Lauren chandelier earrings suspended with delicate gemstones.
Middleton was joined by her husband, Prince William, and their three kids — Prince George, 13, Princess Charlotte, 13, and Prince Louis, 8 — who sat in the back seat of the vehicle.
This isn’t the first time Middleton, 44, has traded in her signature chestnut waves for a blonder look.
Last September, she debuted long, blond hair for an appearance at the Natural History Museum’s newly renovated gardens in London.
That same month, royal hairstylist Neville Tucker noted that the princess appeared to have “had a full set of highlights.”
“Kate’s gone for a strong look that is really noticeably different to how we are used to seeing her,” he told Vanity Fair at the time.
“She has been playing with blonde tones for a while, but last year she was the darkest she had been in a while,” Tucker added. “It makes the change quite dramatic, I would say this is the blondest we have seen her.”
The lighter look didn’t last for long, but two months later, an insider revealed the reason for Middleton’s hair makeover.
“It used to be brown, but it’s gone light in the sunshine,” she reportedly told actress Su Pollard, who had complimented her hair backstage at the Royal Variety Performance.
