The Princess of Wales is one of the most popular women on the planet, famous for her natural beauty and classic style. With fans eager to know the beauty products she's been choosing since joining the royal family, Kate has long been regarded as a beauty icon. But this week a photo of the 41-year-old was published during an event and a storm of criticism flooded social networks.

On social networks, people write that Kate looks "tired, old and sad". Quora, Reddit and Mumsnet platforms analyzed comments about Kate and all agreed: the princess looks "tired and exhausted".

"What happened to her? She looks very old in a very short time," one user commented on a photo of her on Instagram. "She's getting old terribly." "She went from attractive young mother to an old woman overnight."

But Kate Middleton does not look "old and tired", nor is she "aging fast". She's just aging naturally and let's be honest, she looks pretty cool standing on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.

"Finally a natural woman in her 40s. So fresh!" writes one commenter praising the princess's photos. "It's so nice to see someone age gracefully. She's natural, not filled with plastic," posted another, calling Kate "a role model for young women."

"This is what women look like. The age where they should look without injections and ridiculous filters," writes another.
