While on an engagement at a textile factory in Kent, the Princess of Wales performed an amazing act with her long hair that have left fans perplexed
The Princess of Wales has stepped out for a series of engagements, with royal watchers catching a glimpse of her performing an apparent magic trick with her hair that has left fans amazed.
Kate took a tour of the Sudbury Silk Mills in Suffolk before later stopping by at Marina Mill in Cuxton, Kent. She put Britain’s textile industry in the spotlight with the visit to the mill in Suffolk, a family-run weaving firm that has been creating jacquard fabrics for more than 300 years.
From there, the princess continued her tour with a trip to Marina Mill in Cuxton, Kent, where she donned an apron to get involved in the fabric making process.

Kate was shown how the fabric is dried and then transferred, before she got her hands dirty to print her own fabric.
After covering her outfit with an apron, Kate pulled her long tresses back and tied up her hair, without using a hair bobble or clip. It seems the princess pulled her hair into a bun before wrapping it around itself, effortlessly securing it firmly in place with no hair tie in sight.
The video of Kate’s hair trick quickly went viral on social media, as one royal watcher shared the clip of the moment on X with the caption: “Just the Princess of Wales effortlessly putting her hair into a bun with no hair ties or clips at all today.” The post welcomed a flood of comments, with one person writing: “I would never do this properly and so perfectly.”
Another wrote: “My bun would have fallen out 0.2 seconds later,” while someone else added: “Looks like this is something she does all the time. And it doesn’t look messy.”
One other fan wrote: “She’s done that a few times!” while another requested: “Someone needs to do a slow-mo tutorial featuring her so I can learn it. Mine just keeps falling! She’s a pro.”
In the days before her trip to the textile factories, Kensington Palace said the princess’s visit would “celebrate the unique skill, creativity and craftsmanship of British textile manufacturers” and the “joy found in working in the creative industries”.
It said Kate has “long been passionate about the importance of the British textiles industry and its role as part of the UK’s cultural and creative voice”. Kate’s paternal ancestors were the owners of the woollen manufacturer and merchant William Lupton & Co, which was based in Leeds.
The outings for Kate come as she is expected to play a huge role when US President Donald Trump comes to the UK next week for his unprecedented second state visit.
William and Kate have been tasked with the initial royal meeting of Mr and Mrs Trump on the morning of September 17 in the grounds of the Windsor estate, when they will accompany them to meet the King and Queen for an open-air greeting.
Kate will also carry out a joint engagement with the First Lady the next day in Windsor, alongside Queen Camilla.
