Kate Middleton's Best Hairstyles over the Years, Including Her New Short Hair

Apart from fulfilling their duties in several countries, the members of the Royal Family are known for their incredible styles, and Duchess Kate Middleton is no stranger to it.

Prince William's wife surprised everybody this month by rocking a shorter but still beautiful hairdo. The first photos of her new style hit the Internet in the middle of her and William's three-day tour of Ireland.

KATE MIDDLETON'S SHORT HAIRDO

On March 3, she appeared in front of the cameras wearing a green outfit and a black hatband that showed her new hairdo. However, it didn't attract as much attention as expected because people thought that her hair looked shorter due to her headpiece.

As the day went by, the new style became evident. Kate's hair hits just below her shoulders, which according to Glamour, is perfect for spring.

The following day, Kate visited Jigsaw, the National Centre for Youth Mental Health, and she got rid of her hatband, providing a better look at her beautiful haircut.

Another attractive aspect that people noticed that day was that her signature bouncy curls were nowhere to be seen as the Duchess of Cambridge opted for a sleek blowout for the event.

It is not the first time that Kate Middleton's beautiful hairstyle makes headlines, and here's a glimpse into some of the best ones over the years.
