Sorry, were you doing something important? Well stop it! Kate Middleton cut her hair! Her virtually indestructible even-tiered locks have given way to bang-y-esque frontal bits, to put it in scientific terms. Unlike its purer cousin the bangus forrealus, these are more of a suggestion or a whisper of bangs that leave the majority of the royal forehead exposed.
