- As a child, the Duchess of Cambridge's famous hair looked pretty different: Young Kate was a blonde.
- Kensington Palace also shared cute photos of Prince William and his children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, to celebrate the Duke of Cambridge's birthday.
Kate Middleton might be known for her brunette hair these days—more specifically, her preternaturally shiny, bouncy brunette waves—but back in her childhood, her hair looked very different. Young Kate was a blonde, the Cambridges revealed on Instagram on Sunday. To celebrate Father's Day, the royals shared a childhood photo of Kate with her dad, Michael Middleton, as well as a snap of Prince William and Prince Charles; in the photo, the Duchess of Cambridge wears her light blonde hair in two braids as she sits on Michael's knee. See the second photo in the post below:

It's been an extremely busy weekend for the Cambridges, who celebrated both Father's Day and William's 38th birthday on Sunday. To mark the occasions, they shared an extremely cute series of photos of William with his three children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
In the first photo, posted on Saturday, William sits on a swing with Louis on his knee and Charlotte and George balancing behind him. "The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to share a new picture of The Duke with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis ahead of The Duke’s birthday tomorrow," the royals captioned the photo, which was taken by Kate.
