Blondes do have more fun — just ask Princess Kate!

The Princess of Wales was spotted with newly-golden tresses as she was driven to Crathie Kirk Church in Scotland for a service, alongside the Prince of Wales and their children, Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, seven.

Middleton’s blonde locks, which she first debuted in April, looked even lighter out the car window, as they gently cascaded past her slender shoulders.

It comes amid news Princess Kate is expected to lead the welcome when US President Donald Trump returns to the UK in September for an official state visit.

From September 17-19, Trump will be involved in a series of formal meetings with Keir Starmer and government officials but it is the royal ceremonial events that are likely to draw the most attention.

King Charles III will play a key role, royal watchers anticipate Princess Catherine will be the face of this historic engagement.

“At the heart of the hugely important state visit will be King Charles and another key royal,” online independent royal news source Royal Central said.

”There’s every expectation that William and Kate will lead on welcoming the American delegation as well as participating in various aspects of the visit.”

Kate and William have been able to carry out royal duties since the Princess of Wales announced she was cancer free last September.

“I cannot tell you what a relief it is to have finally completed my chemotherapy treatment,” the royal announced on X, formerly Twitter.

“The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family,” Middleton shared, adding that she was entering her new phase of recovery “with a renewed sense of hope and appreciation of life.”
