Queen Mary breaks royal grooming code with visible grey hair
The Australian-born queen appeared with visible grey hair, a rare departure from her signature perfect styling.
Queen Mary was photographed with grey regrowth showing at her temples during a royal sailing season event in Copenhagen. The 54-year-old, famous for topping best-dressed lists, chose not to cover the grey strands.
Queen Mary wore a Camilla and Marc dress, showcasing Australian design at the harbour event on September 14. Other royals are making similar moves.
Spain's Queen Letizia, also 54, has shown grey hair for six years since the pandemic. Britain's Princess of Wales has been spotted with subtle grey tones, a technique called grey blending.
Hair experts say more clients are asking for the look to reduce salon visits.
