The Royal Family is expected to maintain perfect poise on every occasion.
Their role involves numerous rules and traditions, including strict adherence to etiquette and styling choices.
So it’s no wonder that royal women have tended to rely upon a select group of trusted hairdressers, often establishing a close working relationship.
Jo Hansford confirmed to MailOnline that she has been looking after Her Majesty’s hair colour for 40 years and has ‘a wonderful relationship’ with Camilla.
Meanwhile, Denise McAdam, who notably styled Sarah, Duchess of York’s hair for her wedding to Prince Andrew in 1986, said the experience was ‘a real honour’.
Earlier this month, Meghan Markle’s hair stylist, George Northwood, was employed by Prince Harry’s ex-girlfriend, Cressida Bonas.
Sought-after Northwood, who is responsible for creating Meghan’s signature chignon, gave Cressida a glamorous makeover, complete with a new fringe.

Jo Hansford’s client roster has included numerous A-list celebrities, such as Angelina Jolie and Gwyneth Paltrow.
However, she is particularly renowned for her extensive collaboration with Queen Camilla.

She is behind the royal’s trademark blonde locks, having suggested a change from golden brown several years ago.

George Northwood
George Northwood is best-known for creating the ‘messy bun’ that Meghan wore for her wedding reception in 2018.
Two years later, the stylist toured Australia, New Zealand and Tonga with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
During this time, Northwood said he became ‘very close’ to Meghan, who also flew him out to the Netherlands for the Invictus Games in 2022.
The stylist created at least five different hairdos for Meghan over the course of the three-day event.
In 2022, he visited the Sussexes in the UK during Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
‘So nostalgic and wonderful to be reunited [with] Harry, Meghan and their family in the UK,’ he posted on Instagram at the time.
‘Archie has grown to be the cutest, well-mannered little boy and Lilibet is just beautiful.’
Earlier this month, Cressida Bonas posted a photo of the new style given to her by Northwood. She called it ‘fringe-tastic!’.
