Kate Middleton is making waves again, and this time, it’s all about her hair. Despite facing cancer and going through chemo, Kate’s hair looked so healthy that it sparked a frenzy of reactions online. Some were in awe of her strength and beauty, while others were left buzzing with curiosity.
In a deeply moving moment at Windsor Castle on October 2, 2024, Princess Catherine Middleton embraced 16-year-old Liz Hatton, a young photographer fighting a rare and aggressive tumor. It was Catherine’s first public appearance since resuming royal duties, and the image of their hug quickly spread online, sparking an emotional response.
Liz’s short hair, a result of her grueling battle with the disease, stood in contrast to Catherine’s healthy-looking locks—a detail that didn’t go unnoticed. Both women have faced cancer, and this poignant difference between them became a powerful image of resilience and hope. Online platforms were flooded with comments, particularly on Catherine’s hair.
As Princess Catherine Middleton was seen offering support to the young photographer, one comment took a more critical tone, with one person asking, “How did Catherine not lose any hair after chemo?” Another cynically remarked, “How come that all the real cancer patients are without hair on their head and your hair is longer and longer?”
While some comments were probing and critical, others were filled with admiration for her appearance. One fan gushed, “Catherine looks stunning 😍,” while another marveled, “Kate’s hair! Wow!” Some wondered aloud, “Has Kate got extensions? My goodness, her hair has grown.” Another admirer expressed, “Catherine, it’s so great to see you looking so healthy and beautiful ❤️,” and a similar sentiment followed, “Her hair is beautiful, but more than that, I’m just glad to see her out and about❤️”
This appearance, which has sparked a range of reactions, is a rare one for Catherine, as she has largely remained out of the public eye this year. The Palace previously mentioned that it is still uncertain whether the princess is cancer-free, even after completing chemotherapy.
This isn’t the first time comments like “How come she still has her hair?” have surfaced regarding Princess Catherine’s public appearances. In her first outing in months, many were astonished by her hair.
The Corpse of Drew Barrymore’s Grandfather Was Stolen for One Last Celebration
John Barrymore came from a long line of theater actors. He himself first appeared on stage alongside his father in 1900, and in 1903 officially began his career, starring in the likes of Justice (1916) and Richard III (1920). His greatest role was his 1992 appearance in Hamlet, for which he was dubbed “the greatest living American tragedian.”
Barrymore also starred in a slew of silent films, most notably Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1920), Sherlock Holmes (1922) and Beau Brummel (1924). He later made the transition to sound movies, starring in the likes of Grand Hotel (1932) and Midnight (1939).
On May 29, 1942, Barrymore died at the age of 60 from pneumonia and cirrhosis. What happened next has been the subject of many rumors. It’s alleged his friends, Errol Flynn, W.C. Fields and Sadakichi Hartmann snuck into the morgue where his body was being held, propped him up against a poker table and allowed him to experience one final celebration.
As it turns out, these rumors are true! In an August 2020 episode of the popular YouTube series Hot Ones, the acting legend’s granddaughter, Drew Barrymore, revealed his corpse had actually been stolen.
“Not only yes, but there have been cinematic interpretations of it,” she exclaimed. Those interpretations include S.O.B., starring Julie Andrews, and allegedly the 1989 comedy Weekend at Bernie’s, in which two friends pretend their deceased boss is alive.
Barrymore added that she wants the same to happen to her. “I will say this, I hope my friends do the same for me. That is the kind of spirit I can get behind. Just prop the old bag up, let’s have a few rounds.
“I think death comes with so much morose sadness and I understand that, but if it’s okay, just for me, if everybody could be really happy and celebratory and have a party, that would be my preference.”
Vintage Hollywood certainly was a different era…
