It seems that the Duchess of Cambridge switched up her hairstyle prior to arriving in Ireland this week—and royal watchers are very much in favor of her new look.
At her last engagement, just a few days before her and Prince William’s royal tour of Ireland, Kate was still sporting her old cut: a long, wavy look, styled with a chic blowout. Her new style is significantly shorter—almost in lob territory—and features side bangs, an old favorite look of the Duchess’s.

It’s already a hit with royal watchers. In a video captured in Galway, fans can be seen complimenting her new ‘do. “Love your hair, Kate!” screams one; “You look lovely!” adds another. (Watch the clip above.)
Sadly for Kate’s Irish fans, though, her and Prince William’s trip to Ireland is nearly over. The Duke and Duchess are currently undertaking their third and final day of royal engagements in the country, and will soon head home to Britain.
This has been the royal couple’s first official visit to Ireland, but it seems like it won’t be the last. In a statement released in late February, Kensington Palace noted that “the UK’s links with Ireland are extensive, and the Duke and Duchess are looking forward to building a lasting friendship with the Irish people.”
During their visit, they also expressed interest in bringing their kids—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—along for the next trip. At Teagasc Research Farm on Wednesday, an 11-year-old student spoke with the couple, later telling Town & Country, “They said they wanted to bring their kids over soon to show our projects.”
