KATE Middleton displayed a blonder hairstyle as she joined Prince William in Windsor to meet well-wishers yesterday.

The newly-appointed Prince and Princess of Wales were joined by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as they made their way through the crowds of mourning members of the public.

Royal mum-of-three Kate was seen in a black dress that fell below her knees, and her iconic brunette mane appeared to have been highlighted with lighter shades.

Last month, the Duchess of Cornwall and Cambridge was seen at a Commonwealth Games event with darker locks.

The brothers put aside their differences as the four inspected flowers outside Windsor Castle.

A senior Palace source said: “The Prince of Wales invited the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to join him and the Princess of Wales earlier.

“The Prince of Wales thought it was an important show of unity for the Queen at an incredibly difficult time for the family.”

William’s olive branch was delivered, and accepted, less than an hour before the “Fab Four” gathered outside Windsor Castle.

Only William and Kate — newly appointed Prince and Princess of Wales — were expected to meet the public from 4.30pm.

But the walkabout was delayed until 5.15pm to include Harry and Meghan.

The brothers had barely spoken for 2½ years after the Sussexes left for the US.

And it was the first time the couples have been seen in public as a foursome since Commonwealth Day in March 2020.

The Duchess of Sussex also held his hand as they stepped out the car at Windsor Castle to greet crowds of mourners.
