I Was So Distracted by Kate Middleton at Her Latest Appearance That I Totally Missed Princess Charlotte's Hair

In these photos, I couldn't help but notice that the young princess's hair looked slightly different than usual. We're used to Charlotte having an uncanny resemblance to her mother, with similar brown locks, often pulled back neatly. But in these most recent shots, the young royal's hair is somewhat longer with the ends much lighter and windblown. If anything, she’s channeling her father’s formerly blond locks.

If you look closely, you'll notice her hair has streaks of light blonde throughout giving the impression of natural highlights. It's also not lost on me that the velvet green bow she's sporting matches the dark emerald shades both her mother and Queen Camilla were wearing on the day.

I can't wait to see what fun royal photo ops the new year brings.
