People go into meltdown when the Princess of Wales takes her highlights from caramel chestnut to toffee chestnut, but it's understandable people are so observant, she has really great hair. We can't imagine how often her glossy multi-tonal brunette tresses are given as a reference in the hairdressers chair.

Well now she's levelled up from Duchess hair to Princess hair, befitting of her new title, because she and Wills were sat court-side at a Boston Celtics game during their three day visit to the city, and the prinny was sporting(see what I did there) some of the biggest, bounciest, princessy-est hair we've seen her with.

Proving that the side-parting isn't going anywhere yet, the Princess wore her hair in sweeping curls around her face with large bouncy curls falling past her shoulders and it's giving cartoon Anastasia when she finally takes her hair down. Side note, I can't be the only one that thought she had short hair in that cartoon till she took it down. You can see the little four inch pony. Make it make sense.

Kate wore a royal blue(apt) boucle blazer to see the Celtics take on Miami heat and the colour only made those glossy curls pop even more.

The Royals aren't exactly the celebs we're used to seeing court-side, it's definitely an unexpected pop culture crossover and we just can't look away.
