By 1920, a few years before her marriage to Prince Albert, Duke of York, her long locks were swept into a loose bun.
There wasn't a stray hair to be seen when this picture was taken in 1946. The Queen Mother kept her hair stylishly simple for many years, with just a hint of her youthful curls.
Princess Margaret was known for her chic style and her penchant for living life to the fullest. She must have raised a few eyebrows in the royal household with this short crop back in 1958.
Back in 1907, the young Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon had a mane of long curls.
Princess Eugenie's own hair was looking very different by 2019, with elegant styling and a hat suitable for her visit to the horse racing at Ascot.
Beatrice's hair looked closer to younger sister Eugenie's brunette shade when the princesses paid a visit to Germany in 2013.
It was a very different story in 1968, when Princess Margaret's hair was long, sleek, and shiny.
Fast forward to 2019, and Kate's hair was several shades lighter, with honey tones. The trademark shine is still there, though.
The princess' perfectly-coiffured hair got a soaking in 1991, when she braved a torrential downpour to step on stage with opera singer Luciano Pavarotti at London's Hyde Park. She made the wet look aspirational!
Kate Middleton is known for her glossy locks and sleek styles, as demonstrated here at an Olympics event in 2012.
But the Princess' hair was looking loose and natural on a visit to the Solomon Isles the same year. Check out those enviable curls!
Known for her bouncy flame-red hair, Sarah Ferguson has never followed the royal tradition of sweeping her hair neatly into a bun or braids. In 1986, she was rocking the untamed look.
In 1971, the Princess Royal embraced the natural look with this big and bold windswept look.
Princess Anne hasn't been afraid to experiment with her hair over the years. She was snapped with these long, flowing locks in 1970.

In 1984, she was making a style statement once again, with a swept-back chignon and a dramatic pair of aviators.
By 1984, the Princess of Wales' hair was longer, and could be fashioned into elaborate styles.
Princess Diana made a real style statement with this chic, slicked-back look at the CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America) Awards in 1995.

The women of the British royal family are a stylish lot from head to well-heeled toe. And the sense of style applies as much to their hairstyles as to their enviable outfits.

The glamorous princess had previously worn her hair cropped and curled, in a look that was more traditional among female members of the royal family at the time. Here she is in 1956, on a visit to what is now the Republic of Tanzania.
By the 1980s, Princess Margaret had adopted the plumped, powerful up-do that was to become her trademark hairstyle during the later years of her life.
Fast forward to 2006, and the trademark curls were tamed and terrific for an appearance at New York Fashion Week.
The Duchess of York had gone for a shorter fringe in 1989, which some might say veered dangerously close to mullet. She was very much a fashion icon in the 1980s, though!
Princess Beatrice has clearly inherited her mother's flame-red locks. The young princess was all-natural at a golf event in 1998.
Beatrice inherited the Duchess of York's passion for fashion, too. Her hair was super-long and super-chic front row at a fashion show in 2009.
The late Queen is one of the few royals to have stuck to her trademark short, stylish curls for most of her adult life. She looked royally chic at the time of her engagement in 1947.
The color may have changed over the years, but Queen Elizabeth's hair always looked as good as it did in her younger days.
