It turns out that Kate Middleton has long been associated with the topic of cancer and even donated her hair a few years ago for cancer patients, according to People magazine.

Several years ago, Kate Middleton donated her locks to a charitable organization that creates wigs for young people who lose their hair due to cancer treatment or other illnesses, many years before she announced her diagnosis.

The Princess of Wales' lush chestnut locks have long been a hallmark of her style, and the royal figure graciously donated 7 inches of her strands to the British charity organization The Little Princess Trust back in 2017.

Then her hair was anonymously sent to the Little Princess Trust fund, which provides free wigs to children and young people under the age of 24 who have lost their hair during cancer treatment and other serious illnesses. In July 2017, Kate debuted with a shorter haircut.

"It’s lovely to think that somebody, somewhere — probably more than one person — has received a wig containing Princess Kate’s hair," said Helen Creese, a representative of the charity organization at the time.
