Kate Middleton appeared in public with a braid for the first time

Kate Middleton appeared in public with a braid for the first time

The Princess of Wales took part in a charity walk in the Peak District National Park in England and visited a rugby league club in Wakefield.

Kate Middleton, 44, appeared in public for the first time with her hair in a braid. She was wearing brown trousers, a matching jacket, and a cap. The princess attended events for the charity Mind Over Mountains to raise awareness of mental health issues and show how walks, nature, and sport can help those facing trauma and isolation.

After her walk, Kate Middleton changed her look: she donned mustard trousers and a jacket, let her hair down, and went to visit the Wakefield Trinity Rugby League Club. There, she chatted with the club's students and staff.

Earlier, Kate Middleton became the cover girl of Hello! magazine.

As a reminder, the Princess of Wales is married to Prince William. They married in 2011 and are raising three children: Crown Prince George, Prince Louis, and Princess Charlotte. In the spring of 2024, Kate Middleton disappeared from the public eye, and a few months later, she announced she had been diagnosed with cancer. After a year of treatment, she announced she was in remission. Rumors recently circulated that the disease had returned and that Kate was wearing a wig due to hair loss, but these rumors have not been confirmed.
