Princess Charlotte's Most Royally Adorable Hair Looks Over The Years

When it comes to pretty hair, you can always count on Princess Charlotte. The daughter of Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, Charlotte has already gone through a royally good style evolution since she was born in 2015. Not to mention, Princess Charlotte has also broken a royal style tradition, too! One of the most notable parts of Charlotte's beauty looks has to be her regal hair. Ever since Charlotte was a toddler, she's been rocking adorable hairstyles fit for a princess.

From colorful bows to different types of braids, Charlotte always has the best hair. No doubt, it's because her mom is so good at styling it — Kate Middleton has had a stunning hair transformation herself. During the COVID-19 lockdown, a source told The Sun that Kate trimmed Charlotte and her older brother, Prince George's, hair at home. "George's is easy," the insider shared. "Charlotte likes her hair off her face and so it's long enough for a mini ponytail. They both have easy hair to cut." Kate has also been seen fixing her daughter's hair out in public, like in a video shared on X of her smoothing out Charlotte's hair at Trooping the Colour in June 2024.

Over the years, Charlotte's hair has always looked so cute. And if you are looking for hairstyle inspo, you're definitely going to want to bookmark this page!

Princess Charlotte looked all grown up at Trooping the Colour in June 2026, with a hairstyle perfect for the royal event. Her long, gorgeous brown hair featured streaks of sun-kissed blond and was curled down her back in an elegant way that reminds us so much of her mom, Kate Middleton. The top half of her hair was twisted back and secured with an oversized white bow that matched her dress, and she looked so beautiful!

Who needs a real crown when you could wear a braided one instead? Princess Charlotte showed off this regal look at an Easter service at St. George's Chapel in April 2026. From the front, it just looked like her hair was pulled up in one of her go-to half-up, half-down styles. But when she turned, you could see that it was braided on each side, leading to one braid in the middle, which looped around the back of her head like a crown.

On Coronation Day for Princess Charlotte's grandfather King Charles III in May 2023, the young royal wore her most princess-inspired look yet. Her hair was pulled back in an elaborate braided updo, with several braided pieces twisted together and pinned to her head. As if that wasn't fancy enough, she paired it with a sparkly silver headpiece with intricate leaves, which was designed by milliner Jess Collett and Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen (per Hello!).

When Princess Charlotte was a young girl, she still did her hair in a pretty way. For example, in this photo taken on Christmas Day 2019, Charlotte's light brown hair was cut into a short lob that fell to her shoulders. The top half was pulled back with braids, which were fastened with a navy-blue bow, which was just the first of many times she pulled off a similar style in public.

Princess Charlotte was a little beauty at the wedding of her uncle Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle in May 2018. Charlotte wore a pretty white dress with flats at the formal event. Her short hair stood out with a stunning white rose flower crown fastened around her head like a tiara. It was made with real roses and greenery, giving her a woodland fairy princess vibe that looked so cute. 

Princess Charlotte elevated her typical braided hairstyles by opting for French braids at Trooping the Colour in June 2025. Her hair was parted in the middle and French braided on both sides, halfway down her head. The braids joined into a classic braid in the middle of her head, secured with a pretty white bow at the end. The rest of her hair was loose and straight down her back, creating a lovely look that was gorgeous with her light blue dress.

As a toddler, Princess Charlotte looked adorable with a curly bob that fell almost to her shoulders. In this photo, taken on Christmas Day 2016, Charlotte held onto her mom with one hand and held a candy cane with the other as they attended a church service. Her hair looked so sweet with the curls tucked behind her ear and a festive red bow used to help secure her bangs to the side of her head.

Just because she's an actual princess doesn't mean that Princess Charlotte doesn't have casual days, too. During a July 2019 outing to the King Power Royal Charity Polo Match, Princess Charlotte took a snack break with her mom, Kate Middleton, and her younger brother, Prince Louis. She wore a pretty floral dress with a simple ponytail to keep her hair off her face. For a girly flair, Charlotte had a pink ribbon tied in a bow around the ponytail that was so cute.
