Kate, Princess of Wales, has been defended after debuting a new look during a recent engagement.

After photos were shared to the Prince and Princess of Wales’ Instagram account, fans gushed over Kate’s look. One person said: “I love her new hairstyle.”

Another commented: “What an amazing engagement. I love the hair. Stunning princess.”

In addition, a third added: “Beautiful Kate.”

However, someone wrote: “Thought the messy bun was against royal protocol? Meghan did it first and was abused for it.”

Another added: “I can’t believe it. They complain about Meghan’s messy bun… now Kate copies again.”

Someone else wrote: “I see we’re copying Meghan’s hairstyle.”

But fans were quick to defend Kate’s look. One hit back: “Messy bun? Do you even know how a messy bun is styled? Kate has styled her hair in a beautiful updo with curtain bangs. This is not a messy bun. Keep trying.”

Another said: “Google is your friend. The Princess of Wales has been doing messy buns since she joined the royal family.”

Meanwhile, another clapped back: “Don’t make me laugh. Kate wore the messy bun before anyone in the world knew who Meghan was.”
