‘That’s Not Her’: Princess Catherine’s Hair Shocks Royal Fans amid Chemo Treatment

That’s Not Her’: Princess Catherine’s Hair Shocks Royal Fans amid Chemo Treatment
As Princess Catherine of Wales made her grand return to the public eye after months of hiatus, netizens buzzed over her appearance, particularly her hair—an unexpected sight for someone undergoing chemotherapy.

Six months after announcing her cancer diagnosis and chemotherapy treatment, Princess Catherine of Wales made a striking appearance at Trooping the Colour for King Charles III’s official birthday parade in London, drawing significant attention to her dress and hair.

The King’s special occasion marked Catherine’s first public event. At the event, she dazzled in a white dress with black trim and ribbon embellishment on the neckline.

The dress the Princess of Wales wore for Charles’s birthday festivities was actually an upcycled version of an outfit she wore at one event at Buckingham Palace in May 2023.

Adding to her upcycled look, Catherine completed her outfit with a white hat, pearl studs, and the Irish Guards Regimental Brooch, reflecting her honorary role. She had her hair styled in a low bun with intricate detailing.

Catherine’s style may have captivated royal observers online, but many questioned her hair, considering she had chemotherapy. Some believed it was not the Princess of Wales. “That’s not her,” a netizen said in disbelief, while another stated, “That’s not Kate.”

One user expressed genuine curiosity, stating, “Want to know how she’s keeping her hair through chemotherapy… This is a serious question. I am not making a dig or anything like that…”

Adding to the discussion, another pondered the medical aspects, asking, “You can have chemotherapy and not lose your hair?” Concern for her well-being was evident in queries such as, “Was William with her? And if she’s having chemo how come she still has her hair?”
Despite these questions, admiration shone through as one admirer remarked, “Always admire this elegant lady, how did her hair grow back so soon after chemotherapy??”

Seeking clarification respectfully, a user questioned, “Can I ask an honest question. I mean nothing rude or mean in asking this but, I though you lost your hair during chemo???? Do u think it’s a wig or maybe not all chemo makes u loose your hair. Again honest question, I’m not trying to be rude(sic).”

However, skepticism lingered as one commented, “I don’t know why I can’t believe that she’s illness(sic).” Despite the confusion, positivity emerged from a supportive fan, saying, “Going through chemotherapy and still looking radiant!”
Before Catherine’s appearance at the King’s birthday parade, she opened up about her courageous battle with cancer in a touching Instagram post.
