“Dreadful!” At The Latest Event, Prince William’s New Appearance Left Everyone In Shock

Prince William and Princess Catherine made their first public appearance together after Kate announced the end of her chemotherapy treatment. While some discussed the princess’s luxurious hair, which remained unaffected by the treatment, others noticed a single changed detail in Prince William’s look.

On October 10, World Mental Health Day, Princess Catherine, and her husband, Prince William, made an unannounced visit to Southport. This visit was particularly significant as it marked Catherine’s first public appearance since completing chemotherapy.

The royal couple met with the families of Bebe King (6), Elsie Dot Stancombe (7), and Alice Dasilva Aguiar (9), who passed away during a Taylor Swift-themed dance class. Fans were touched by Catherine’s presence, especially given her recent battle with cancer.

Though William’s attendance was expected, Catherine’s participation was a surprise. It was her first public event since she announced on September 9 that she had completed chemotherapy, six months after revealing she was undergoing cancer treatment in March. During the visit, the royal couple also privately met with the dance teacher and the families of the victims.

The Princess of Wales joined Prince William to offer support and empathy to the Southport community. After their visit, they reaffirmed their commitment to the community, pledging to “stand with everyone in Southport” in a social media post. While their emotional engagement was a key focus, the couple’s fashion choices also caught attention.

Catherine stood out in autumnal tones, wearing a long chocolate-brown double-breasted coat over a flowing burgundy midi dress with white polka dots and a pussybow neckline. She paired the outfit with deep brown suede pumps and leaf-shaped gold earrings. Her signature silky waves and natural makeup completed her elegant, understated look. Prince William, wearing a gray blazer with a subtle plaid pattern, dark gray trousers, and brown suede shoes, complemented her style. His burgundy sweater and tie coordinated seamlessly with Catherine’s dress, adding a polished touch to his outfit.

Their public appearance sparked a wave of attention on social media. One fan expressed, “So lovely to see our Princess 💗💗 p.s. the matching burgundy looks great.” Another chimed in, saying, “They’re matchy-matchy! Love this couple!” Others also noticed the color coordination, with one pointing out, “I hadn’t noticed that the Prince and Princess of Wales are matching—their outfits, the colours I mean.”

Some users appreciated the subtlety of their wardrobe choices. “I love how they subtly match; they don’t need to be salt & pepper shakers. It’s obvious they’re the Prince & Princess of Wales,” one person remarked. Meanwhile, others highlighted the deeper significance of their visit, with one fan stating, “Great to see the Prince and Princess of Wales at Southport. A very poignant visit and lovely to see her looking so well. A caring couple. Our future.”

Prince William’s beard raised many questions. Usually clean-shaven, he appeared with noticeable stubble, and many people found it inappropriate. One wrote, “Good to see them out and about. I don’t think the beard does much for William, either trim it up properly or shave it off completely.” Another added, “Nice to see them out doing this. Have to say though, William looks a right scruff with that mangy beard.” One commenter noted, “William needs to lose the beard. It is dreadful. Never have more hair on the chin than on the head!” However, some considered the prince’s new look to be a success, “A beard suits Prince William.”

Kate’s hair is indeed raising many questions among people. Some speculate that the princess might be wearing a wig after her chemotherapy.
