Kate's appearance drew significant attention, especially due to her elegant attire and notably, her hair.

The Princess of Wales wore a white dress with black trim and ribbon embellishment on the neckline. This dress was an upcycled version of an outfit she previously wore to an event at Buckingham Palace in May 2023.

Complementing her look, she wore a white hat, pearl studs, and the Irish Guards Regimental Brooch, reflecting her honorary role. Her hair was styled in a low bun with intricate detailing.

While many admired her stylish return, the state of her hair amid chemotherapy treatment sparked considerable debate online. Some royal fans were skeptical, expressing disbelief that someone undergoing chemotherapy could maintain such healthy-looking hair.

Kate's style has captured the attention of royal observers online, but many were skeptical about her appearance, especially given her chemotherapy treatment. Doubts arose about whether it was truly the Princess of Wales. "That's not her," one commenter stated, while another added, "That's not Kate."

A user expressed genuine curiosity, asking, "How is she keeping her hair through chemotherapy? This is a serious question, not a criticism..."

Another user pondered the medical implications, questioning, "Is it possible to have chemotherapy and not lose your hair?" Concerns about her health were evident, with questions like, "Was William with her? And if she's having chemo, how does she still have her hair?"

One admirer said, "Always admire this elegant lady. How did her hair grow back so soon after chemotherapy?"

Another user asked, "Can I ask an honest question? I mean nothing rude or mean by this, but I thought you lost your hair during chemo. Do you think it's a wig, or maybe not all chemo causes hair loss? Again, honest question, not trying to be rude."

Skepticism remained as someone commented, "I don't know why I can't believe she's ill." Yet, positivity also emerged, with a supportive fan saying, "Going through chemotherapy and still looking radiant!"

Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, has been showing a "newfound confidence" in her recent public appearances, despite her ongoing treatment for an undisclosed cancer. This observation comes from body language expert Judi James, as reported by Mirror.

In a recently released photograph, Kate is seen posing thoughtfully under a tree. According to James, this image reveals significant changes in the royal's demeanor.

The expert noted two key "barrier gestures" folded arms and crossed legs which suggest a blend of vulnerability and newfound confidence.

James explained, “There’s a sense of confiding in the public here – the two barrier gestures of the folded arms and crossed legs are also new for Kate. They imply an intriguing blend of vulnerability and privacy with a hint of a new-found type of confidence. Her arms are lightly folded in a pose that is often adopted by professional people to hint at authority.”

James also highlighted that Kate's smile in the photograph is different from her usual perfect royal smile. “Her smile reveals a similar sentiment. It’s not her usual perfect royal smile. With the lips closed it suggests calm serene happiness that is inner, rather than projected," she added.

Kate has been candid about her cancer treatment, sharing that she experiences both "good days and bad days." On good days, she enjoys engaging with school life, spending personal time on activities that give her energy and positivity, and doing a little work from home. On bad days, she prioritizes rest to accommodate her body's needs.

Kate shared, "On those bad days you feel weak and tired and you have to give in to your body resting. On the days I feel well enough, it is a joy to engage with school life, spend personal time on the things that give me energy and positivity, as well as start to do a little work from home."
