Susanna Reid and Kate Middleton's Blond Transformation: A Bold Statement or a Trend for Ageing Gracefully?
Royal Hair Rumble: Susanna Reid Comes to Kate Middleton's Defense Against Trolls
In a shocking turn of events, the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, has been subjected to a barrage of vicious online attacks over her new bronde hairstyle. But fear not, royal fans! The lovely Susanna Reid, host of Good Morning Britain (GMB), has come to Kate's defense, revealing that she too made the same hair transformation - and it was all about finding a flattering look for aging skin.
The 43-year-old Princess of Wales stunned fans when she emerged with her new 'bronde' locks last week, a bold departure from her signature chestnut tresses. Coincidentally, Susanna, 54, also bid adieu to her dark hair and switched to bronde at the same time. And it's clear that the Good Morning Britain host is not just a fan of the new look - she's been through the wringer herself.
Appearing on Lorraine last Monday, Susanna opened up about her decision to go lighter, revealing that it was all about finding a style that complements her aging skin. "I've started to go a bit lighter as I've grown a few years older," she explained. "I find having lighter pieces in my hair is a bit softer on ageing skin." Susanna's words of wisdom were music to the ears of Kate, who has been facing relentless criticism from trolls online.
But what really got our attention was when Lorraine interjected with a cheeky remark: "She looks absolutely beautiful - people have been saying has she got some hair pieces in... like I've got - the ones you just clip in!" Susanna couldn't help but agree, recalling that she had used extensions to achieve her signature long locks after being told by none other than Cher herself that she should grow it back.
The Good Morning Britain host revealed: "After Cher told me I had to go long, I originally went to hair pieces. They give your hair the most amazing thick texture. I turned back time and went long!" It seems Susanna was so thrilled with her new look that she wanted to make sure Kate knew she wasn't alone in her decision.
But what about those nasty trolls who've been attacking Kate's looks online? Well, renowned stylist Sam McKnight - a close friend of the royal family - had some choice words for them. Taking to Instagram, he issued a scathing statement, slamming critics for their cruel remarks: "I'm shocked, horrified, dismayed and disgusted by the reaction." He continued: "A woman's hair is very personal to her... It's armor, defence, confidence and so much more."
Sam's impassioned plea came as Kate faced criticism for her new look, with some even suggesting that she was using hair extensions. But Susanna wasn't having it, firmly believing that the Princess of Wales' decision was all about finding a flattering style. And let's be real, who wouldn't want to rock a bronde 'do?
As we take a closer look at Susanna's hair journey over the years, one thing is clear: she's not afraid to speak her mind and stand up for those in the public eye. And with good reason - after all, Kate has been bravely facing the public eye for years, dealing with criticism and scrutiny on a daily basis.
The Good Morning Britain host made sure to emphasize that her decision to go bronde wasn't influenced by Kate's new look, but rather a personal choice to find a more flattering style. "You'd think it was because I saw the Princess Of Wales and thought I like that look," she laughed. "But actually it's because I've started to go a bit lighter as I've grown a few years older."
As we reflect on Kate's journey with her health, which she bravely opened up about in March 2024, it's clear that she's faced some tough challenges. But Sam McKnight's statement was a much-needed reminder that women should be supported and uplifted, not torn down by cruel comments.
So the next time you're tempted to leave a snarky comment online, just remember: as Susanna so eloquently put it, "blander is a little bit kinder" on aging skin. And who knows - maybe we'll all follow suit and join Kate and Susanna in their bronde revolution!
