Kate has been defended by Princess Diana’s former hairdresser amid “evil” attacks on the Princess of Wales.
Princess Kate returned to royal duties for the first time in seven weeks on Thursday as she undertook a joint engagement at the Natural History Museum.
The Princess of Wales debuted her new blonde hair during the public appearance, and despite the overwhelmingly positive reaction to her new look, some trolls took to social media to attack the royal.
Sam McKnight, 70, who previously styled Princess Diana’s hair issued a message on Thursday hitting out at those criticising the Princess of Wales.

He wrote: “I am shocked, horrified, dismayed and disgusted by all the nasty comments about the Princess of Wales today.
“A woman's hair is very personal to her, it's armor, defence, confidence and so much more.
McKnight continued: ”I cannot believe how evil and lacking in any kind of empathy are the comments, the majority made apparently by other women, attacking a vulnerable other young woman, who has no choice, by dint of who she married and the role she took on, to bravely face the public.
“I'm sure she would rather be away from the public arena.

“She has brilliantly and quietly, unselfishly represented our country, the soft power we still have as a nation.”
