Kate Middleton Secretly Donated Her Hair to Kids' Cancer Charity

Kate Middleton does not just donate her time and energy to charitable causes.

The Duchess of Cambridge reportedly donated seven inches of her hair to Little Princess Trust, which makes wigs for young cancer patients.

According to the British newspaper Sunday Express, the idea came to Kate -- who is currently
pregnant with her third child -- after her hairstylist, Joey Wheeler, suggested that she shorten her style. The Duchess agreed, but wanted to make sure that the hair went to someone who needed it.

While the 36-year-old royal was excited to be giving her brunette locks to charity, she did so secretly. “It was sent using someone else’s name, so that the trust didn’t know it was from a royal source," says a source for Sunday Express. "They just thought it was from a female donor in the Kensington area.”

In addition to Kate's donation, another British celebrity has given his hair to Little Princess Trust. Last year, Harry Styles cut off his ponytail and donated it to the charity.

ET reached out to Kensington Palace regarding this report but they had no comment.
Kate's husband, Prince William, also made headlines this month when he stepped out with a buzz cut.

Meghan Markle May Break Royal Tradition Again By Speaking at Her Wedding to Prince Harry

Meghan Markle's wedding is getting more nontraditional by the day.

The 36-year-old actress is hoping to give a speech at her reception after
tying the knot with Prince Harry, according to a new report. After saying "I do" in front of 800 guests at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle on May 19, Sunday Times reports that Markle is planning to give an "affectionate" tribute to her husband, and thank his family -- including the queen -- for their support.

"The feeling is if Meghan's father doesn't speak for her, she wants to have the chance to thank her husband and everyone who has supported them," a source shared with the U.K. newspaper, adding that "Harry thinks it's a great idea."

A source told ET last month that the Suits star would like both her parents to be included in her nuptials, and has already asked her father, Thomas -- who lives in Rosarito, Mexico and remained relatively off the grid in recent years -- to walk her down the aisle.

"She does want him included and she wants to uphold tradition," the source explained, adding that her mother, Doria Radlan, "will also have a significant role that day."

While Markle works out the details of her big day, a source told ET earlier this month that she's already chosen a wedding dress designer and had her first fitting at Kensington Palace.
