Kate Middleton is saved against ‘nasty’ comments by Princess Diana staff
Princess Diana’s hairdresser is standing up for Kate Middleton after her latest hair makeover.
The Princess of Wales, who was spotted all blonde at the Natural History Museum reopening this month, gets saved from nasty public comments.
Former hairdresser Sam McKnight, 70, posted on Instagram saying he was “shocked, horrified, dismayed and disgusted by all the nasty comments”
She added: “A woman’s hair is very personal to her. It’s armor, defence, confidence and so much more.”
The professional 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,” he noted.
King Charles understands a lot is at stake as he prepares to meet Prince Harry.
His Majesty, who is set to meet his estranged son in September, knows the set up requires a lot from him on an emotional level.
Royal biographer Tom Bower reveals: “Harry has a huge mountain to overcome.”
He adds: “On a human basis, he used to get on very well with Charles, so particularly from Harry’s perspective, he needs reconciliation. But time is not on their side.”
“There would be huge levels of emotion involved if they meet. Whatever Charles is facing, he would much prefer to have a good relationship with his son, so I’m sure he wants reconciliation. But he must bear in mind that he’s dealing with someone who could sabotage everything and embarrass him enormously.”
“The fear with the court case was that Harry could invent something the King said about the case — and it would cause a constitutional crisis,” Tom claims. “That fear has prevented any meeting until now, but even now the case is over, the fear still remains.”

Orlando Bloom remembers Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s wedding as a “wild” affair.
In a new interview with The Times published Friday, the Carnival Row star, 48, described the Venice celebration as a “wild” multi-day affair packed with high-profile guests and nonstop partying.
A source also confirmed that Bloom “didn’t leave the dance floor for hours” during the celebration.
“[Bloom] was in full party mood,” an insider revealed. Bloom attended the wedding solo, just two days after Us Weekly reported on June 25 that he and longtime fiancée Katy Perry had ended their engagement after nearly a decade together.
Despite the timing, Bloom partied with Leonardo DiCaprio, Kris Jenner and the Kardashians, Tom Brady, Sydney Sweeney and Eva Longoria, among many other high-profile public figures.
In the interview, Bloom also spoke about his longstanding connection to Bezos, whose company Amazon produced two of his projects: Carnival Row and Deep Cover.
“When you’re in a position like that, people want to have multiple opinions and actually I just take people on face value,” he said of Bezos.
“The person that I know [Bezos] is remarkably gracious and cool and wise and fun to be around.”
Bloom and Perry, who got engaged on Valentine’s Day in 2019, also welcomed a daughter, Daisy Dove, in August 2020. It is pertinent to mention that neither has publicly confirmed the split.
