As Princess Catherine Middleton was pictured offering support to the photographer, one comment took a different tone, saying, “A hug that says ‘look at my healthy color-treated hair’ will speak volumes. IJS ?.”

Many of these comments were critical and probing as a skeptical observer asked, “How did Catherine not lose any hair after chemo?” and another cynically pointed out, “How come that all the real cancer patients are without hair on their head and your hair is longer and longer?!”

One even questioned, “Why is her head so big?” Other comments on Catherine’s recent appearance were a mix of admiration for her hair and beauty.

One fan gushed, “Catherine looks stunning ?,” while another was in awe, writing, “Kate’s hair! Wow!” Others couldn’t help but wonder, “Has kate got extensions? My goodness her hair has grown [sic].”

Nevertheless, this appearance, which has sparked many reactions, is a rare one for Catherine as she has largely stayed out of the spotlight this year. The Palace has previously stated that it is currently uncertain whether the princess is cancer-free, even after completing her chemotherapy treatment.

Following the photo session, the royal couple held a private meeting with Liz and her family. Liz gushed about this meeting on her Instagram stories, “Such lovely, genuine and kind people, I’m over the moon that my family and I had this experience.”

While Catherine’s appearance and interaction with Liz were highly significant, it was clear that her hair was the focus of much online discussion. Fans have speculated whether Catherine’s mane featured extensions and their suspicions may be valid.
