Kate Middleton is back from maternity leave with a fresh haircut. On Oct. 2, the Duchess of Cambridge made her first official appearance [1] following the birth of Prince Louis [2] just over five months ago. While visiting the Sayers Croft Forest School and Wildlife Garden in London, Middleton debuted a slightly shorter haircut with lots of layers.
One of the last times Middleton was spotted out was at Wimbledon [3] in July. At the time, her hair was longer and fuller at the bottom, contrasting her new lightened-up look, which is fitting for a busy mom of three little ones. Middleton has become quite known for her voluminous mane, and the world was stunned when she was appeared with impeccable hair [4] mere hours after giving birth. The life of a royal, eh?
