Princess Beatrice is having a moment. After years as a fashion outsider, the royal family’s It Girl has finally blossomed and Tatleris sought after “Best Dressed List 2024” which previously crowned the Princess of Wales as society’s most important fashion designer.
It’s not just 36-year-old Princess Beatrice’s fashion that’s making headlines. Her enviably straight reddish-brown hair is considered the ultimate “hair goal.”
The Queen’s fiery red locks have become synonymous with her effortlessly elegant style
Just as her fashion sense has evolved over the years, so has her hair care routine.
Whenever Princess Beatrice gets the opportunity to showcase her impeccable flair for feminine cuts, bold floral patterns and timeless silhouettes, she usually does so along with showcasing a new hairstyle.
At the funeral of her late grandfather, Prince Philip, the princess wore a waist-length ponytail. At his memorial service a year later, she wore flawless curls and a striking merlot headband.
However, the granddaughter of the late Queen Elizabeth II did not always have the bright red hair that her mother Sarah Ferguson and her sister Princess Eugenie have.
An unearthed photograph taken on Princess Beatrice’s first day of school in 1991 shows the young royal with full, icy blonde hair.
In another photo next to her younger sister, Eugenie seems to have gotten her beautiful auburn hair before Beatrice, who had much lighter locks in her childhood.
Babies are often born with lighter eye and hair color than they have as adults.
This is because production of the responsible pigment, melanin, usually starts very slowly, meaning that many blonde children can have very dark hair later in life.
Princess Beatrice’s hair secrets
The royal family prefers to keep quiet about who is in charge of the family’s hair and makeup at royal events, so the identity of their glamour team remains a perpetual mystery.
On a rare occasion, it was revealed via Instagram that Beatrice and Eugenie’s makeup artist for the Queen’s Jubilee weekend in 2021 was Hannah Martin. The royal sisters even posed alongside Hannah and hairdresser Ben Cooke (the man behind Victoria Beckham’s ‘Pob’), who took care of their sleek manes, in a selfie posted on the social media platform.
