Kensington Palace Shares Candid Video of Kate Middleton Fixing Princess Charlotte’s Hair

Prince William and Kate Middleton joined the chorus of New Year’s well-wishers, sharing a thoughtful recap of their most memorable moments from 2024. Posted on their official Instagram account on December 31, the video montage celebrated both personal and professional highlights from the past year.

Among the cherished moments? A fun selfie with Taylor Swift that William, Charlotte and George snapped during her Eras Tour stop at Wembley Stadium. Another standout was Prince William’s meeting with Kevin Sinfield, Rob Burrow and the MND campaigner’s family in January. Middleton also made an emotional return to public engagements following her cancer treatment, appearing alongside William to meet those affected by the devastating Southport. And, of course, there was a nod to her favorite tradition: her Christmas carol concert at Westminster Abbey just last month.

The slideshow was captioned with well wishes to all for the upcoming year: “Happy New Year! Wishing you all a wonderful 2025.”

While every moment was a sweet reminder of the year that was, one clip had fans especially talking—a scene from June’s Trooping the Colour. In it, Kate stands with her three children—Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6. In a tender mother-daughter moment, Kate adjusts Charlotte’s hair, hair, which was styled half up and half down.

Fans filled the comments with love and support for the family, especially after a year marked by Princess Catherine’s health challenges. “Grateful for all you do. Wishing you healing, recovery, and continued precious moments with your family,” one wrote. Another couldn’t help but gush over the Taylor Swift selfie: “William looks more excited than the kids! What a beautiful family.”
