From the time she began seeing Prince William in the early 2000s and subsequently tying the knot in a grandiose wedding ceremony in 2011, admirers have been enamored by Kate Middleton‘s refined fashion sense and shiny, full-bodied curly hair.
As the Prince and Princess of Wales celebrate their 13th wedding anniversary this week, many fans remember Princess Kate’s glamorous, Old Hollywood-esque waves and stunning lacy-sleeved wedding dress designed by Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen.
With that said, we rounded up three times Princess Kate, 42, wowed onlookers with her voluminous natural curls following her and Prince William’s fairytale wedding.
3 Times Princess Kate's Natural Curls Dazzled Us, From Tropical Waves To Beachy Ringlets
1. Kate's Caramel-Colored, Voluminous Island Waves, Marau Airport, Solomon Islands (2012)
On behalf of the late Queen Elizabeth II, the then-Duke and Duchess of Cambridge embarked on a nine-day tour of Singapore, Malaysia, Solomon Islands, and Tuvalu to commemorate The Diamond Jubilee.
Princess Kate was greeted with a warm welcome from both villagers and officials as she and Prince William disembarked at a quaint airstrip situated in Marau Sound, an area in the Solomon Islands located on the eastern edge of Guadalcanal Island within the Guadalcanal Province.
Kate wore her curly locks down and slightly parted to the side. The style icon gave fans a rare look at her natural hair texture, that was even more emphasized thanks to the tropical, humid weather.
2. Kate's Breezy, Tropical Curls, Honiara, Solomon Islands (2012)
During the Royal Tour's seventh day, William and Kate paid a visit to the cabinet of the Prime Minister located in Honiara, the Solomon Islands' capital city.
A little over a year after saying "I do," Princess Kate and Prince William met with locals on Tuvanipipu Island, part of the Solomon Islands in Oceania.
The future queen looked radiant while donning a traditional floral headpiece made from frangipani and bougainvillaea flowers, and putting her beautiful wavy tresses on full display.
3. Kate's Glossy, Sleek And Beachy Waves, Hopkins, Belize (2022)
In 2022, Kate effortlessly sported beachy-inspired fashion once again, as she embarked on a Caribbean tour with her husband. They began their tour by visiting a cacao farm in Belize, as part of their duties in representing Queen Elizabeth II. The royal couple's visit was in honor of the monarch's 70-year reign, as she celebrated her Platinum Jubilee year.
Along with a vibrant smocked floral blue dress, Kate wore her brunette locks down, parted in the center and styled into loose waves. As she usually sported more sleek, blowout-inspired looks, the Belizean heat helped bring out more of her natural texture.
Stunning is an understatement!
