Princess Eugenie has unveiled a major haircut ahead of her wedding

Princess Eugenie has bucked the trend of brides growing out their hair for their wedding days, unveiling a fresh chop six months ahead of her nuptials.
 
The 28-year-old Princess of York took her new bob out for a spin at a charity event in London on Wednesday, pairing it with a printed navy dress.

“The haircut and ensemble are spot on,” one wrote.

Eugenie’s haircut comes three months after she announced her engagement to her long-term boyfriend, Jack Brooksbank.

The youngest daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah, Duchess of York, will marry her beau on Friday, October 12.

Their wedding will take place at Windsor Castle - the same venue in which her cousin Prince Harry will exchange vows with actress Meghan Markle next month.

It would certainly mark a change from the bridal looks we've seen from royal brides in recent memory.

Kate Middleton's hair was long and flowing when she wed Prince William at Westminster Abbey in 2011, and it has become only marginally shorter in the years since.

Similarly, it seems highly unlikely Markle would lop off her own trademark mermaid hair before May 19, but we'll be keeping our eyes peeled.
