The Princess of Wales has utilized fashion and hairstyling as tools of diplomatic expression during recent public engagements.

During visits to Scotland and Northern Ireland, she employed symbolic choices, such as wearing practical footwear in the Isle of Bute and adopting a Celtic knot hairstyle in Belfast to represent loyalty and unity. 

More recently, during a state visit from the Sultan of Oman at Windsor Castle, the Princess debuted a new ‘teak brunette’ hair color and incorporated designer accessories, including a Chanel handbag, into her ensemble.
