The real reason Kate cut her hair

Catherine's shorter 'do was reportedly at the request of a very important person.

Was the Duchess of Cambridge’s latest chop a Royal request from the Queen?

Yes.

Well, that is the answer from Charlotte Griffiths, the Girl about Town Editor of The Mail Online.

“Word reaches me Kate was quietly advised to swap the glamour girl hairdo she sported at Wimbledon in July for a length more appropriate for a future head of The Firm,” writes Griffiths.

“But as she did not want to admit defeat quickly, she has been making the transition in stages.”

Whether it was a request from Her Majesty, or a decision made by the Duchess after the birth of her second child, Princess Charlotte, she looks stunning either way.

But will she go even shorter? We hope so!
