It has come to light that the recent change in the hairstyle of pregnant Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge wasn’t solely to make a fashion statement, it was for a good cause.

Katerine Middleton as she is more popularly called glossy long hair were reportedly donated to the Little Princess Trust, a charity which makes wigs for children who have lost their own hair through illness including cancer.

Although the Duchess  is said to have gifted her mane anonymously, the recipient, Little Princess was quick to acknowledge that the surprise is a welcome one. “Obviously we’re all absolutely delighted that she donated her hair, and we’re very grateful as well, just as we’re grateful to everyone who chooses to support the charity in this way, and so many people do,” said spokesperson Helen Creese.  “It’s such a selfless act anyway to donate your hair to help a sick child or young adult.”
