Former royal butler Grant Harrold<\/strong> is on board with Princess Kate Middleton<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s new blonde hair.<\/p>\n \u201cShe looks beautiful,\u201d Harrold told Us Weekly<\/em> exclusively while promoting his upcoming book, The Royal Butler: My Remarkable Life of Royal Service<\/em>. \u201cOver the years, she didn\u2019t reinvent herself, she does little changes.\u201d<\/p>\n Harrold was, of course, referring to Kate, 43, stepping out with a new look<\/a> during a recent engagement with husband Prince William<\/strong>.<\/p>\n \u201cShe\u2019s beautiful. She\u2019s been through a real s*** time. Why not enjoy? She\u2019s not afraid of doing that,\u201d Harrold continued, referring to Kate\u2019s cancer battle last year. \u201cIt is a bit sad when people are saying, \u2018Oh, she\u2019s colored it because she\u2019s ill. Oh, she\u2019s color it\u2019s a wig.\u2019 I\u2019m thinking, \u2018Leave her alone.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Some online trolls had some not-so-nice things to say about Kate\u2019s hair after she stepped out with the change on Thursday, September 4. Princess Diana\u2019s former hairdresser Sam McKnight<\/strong> even slammed haters<\/a> via his Instagram Story.<\/p>\n Harrold told Us<\/em> that fans should \u201cembrace\u201d this new era of Kate.<\/p>\n \u201cShe\u2019s been through a really bad time,\u201d he added. \u201cShe\u2019s trying to feel good, and she\u2019s trying to make herself look beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n Harrold worked as King Charles III\u2019<\/strong>s butler for years, meaning he has pretty good insight into the royal family. While Kate\u2019s hair is a topic of conversation at the moment, Harrold recalled \u201chaving a conversation about getting older\u201d in his book \u2014 which led to a discussion about William\u2019s infamous bald spot.<\/p>\n \u201cI said that surely the worst thing about aging was losing your hair and going bald,\u201d Harrold wrote in the book, according to an excerpt obtained by Us<\/em>. \u201cKate started sniggering and William gave me a look and said, \u2018Thanks for that.\u2019 It hadn\u2019t occurred to me that, of course, by then he was starting to lose his hair.\u201d<\/p>\n You have successfully subscribed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>![\"Kate](\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/GettyImages-2233656477-Kate-Middleton-Hair.jpg?w=1000&quality=40&strip=all\")
