Today's Pic: Kate's Tresses

With just a couple of weeks until the royal wedding, Prince William and Kate Middleton ventured into northern England for what is slated to be their final public appearance together before the big day. At her recent events, including today, Kate seems to be experimenting with different hairstyles. Perhaps she is trying things out before the wedding or maybe she has learned, as I have, that long loose hair on a windy day equals headaches and hassles once you return to the palace. She also seems to be experimenting with waves and curls--I predict a "fussier" hairdo for the bride than we are used to seeing on her.
