LONDON – So Kate Middleton has a new haircut, and on Monday morning it was front page news in both the Metro and the Daily Mail.
The Duchess of Cambridge – and her new fringe – were pictured in the car with Prince William on Sunday, as they arrived a Crathie Kirk church in Scotland for a service. Kate's hair has since received quite a bit of attention in the press.
The thing is, not everyone was impressed with the Metro and the Mail making the hair story front page news.
Genuinely don't understand how Kate Middleton getting a hair cut is headline news.— London Beauty Queen (@LBQblog) September 14, 2015
While refugee crisis escalates & Corbyn gets elected Kate's only gone & changed her hair. Timely perspective @MetroUK pic.twitter.com/CQXZIupuJp— Otto English (@Otto_English) September 14, 2015
This morning's @MetroUK front page is Kate Middleton's new hair. Thank god there's nothing more important going on.— Gareth O'Connor (@Gareth_O_Connor) September 14, 2015
A lot of people were basically making the point that in the midst of the refugee crises and all the changes going on in the Labour party, Kate's hair shouldn't have been given space on the front page.
Then the i100 got involved with a cheeky dig at the Metro and the Mail.

"A woman was seen out in public for the first time in a couple of months," reads their article. "It appeared as though she'd had a haircut."
"Hair grows. And sometimes it requires cutting."
And finally, to add to the confusion, the Daily Express published the typo to end all typos in their story about Kate's new look.
I loves a good typo, but @Daily_Express have REALLY screwed up with this headline. pic.twitter.com/tNfLmvO4jJ— Danny Dutch (@DannyDutch) September 14, 2015
If she carries on generating this many headlines through sheer hair power alone, Kate may soon be able to give Trump a run for his money.
