In 2018, Kate Middleton was with her hairdresser Joey Wheeler for an overdue hair cut at Kensington Palace. The latter had convinced her that it was high time for a trim as her hair was "just getting too long." While he was doing so, Kate came up with the idea of donating her hair which Joey thought was a brilliant idea.
The duo decidedly cut off around seven inches off of the Duchess' hair and anonymously sent it to a UK charity, appropriately called the "Little Princess Trust." The charity gives real hair wigs, for free, to individuals aged up to 24 who have lost their hair while bravely battling cancer.
