Queen Rania of Jordan, Princess Letizia, Princess Maxima
Hee Hee...QFab's hairdo is legendary, isn't it! But it suits her, IMO. She is blessed with wonderful hair though, at her age.
Someone on another thread swears it is a wig. I don't believe it...HM has always had very thick hair...besides if she was wearing a wig or hair piece why would she choose a blue one...her hair is whitish/blue now!
The Duchess of Cambridge is on the track to "never-changing hairstyle." I can only count 3 occasions when here hair was different: her first public appearance at the christening in Wales, her wedding, and the Epsom Derby. There are probably a few others but except for the last one, the hair was worn down or at most, half up, half down and all very similar.
So, by reading here, it looks like we should actually have a Changing hairstyle thread. Most of the royal ladies, stick to the script.

I love Queen Fabiola though, I wouldn't care if she was bald headed.
A never changing hairstyle is the secret of success for women who want to be recognized for their position and not for their style or as "fashion" icons = the usual women's cliché.
There are countless examples: QEII, Angela Merkel, Queen Beatrix etc etc etc. Unlike many of the young princesses like Mary, Letizia or Kate who are all recognized for the shallow image of everchanging style of clothes, hair or even face its part of the trick not to change your appearance if you want people to think of the position first and not even consider the sex and the image that all too often goes with "female" = talk of fashion and style, the shallow topic that distracts from the substance.
QEII does not only wear the same hairstyle but has worn the same style of quality clothes for decades: suits, hats, gloves, purse, brooch is the always repeating daytime outfit. Angela Merkel always wears blazer, pants, necklace, similar to Hillary Clinton. Its a strategy that is inevitable in order to be taken seriously in a serious position, as a woman.
Always wearing the same hairstyle and style of clothes doesn't make sure that you are taken seriously. As long as there is no substance, your style will only help you for a short period.

Style is still style, age is no barrier. There are much better dressed and coiffed women at 70, then say the York girls or Princess Anne. They look like they are a comedy routine.
Gotta give it up for Sarah Ferguson for doing different hairstyles even if they were fails. But at least she changed it up over the decades. Sometimes when I think of Princess Anne I wonder if she was supposed to be born a boy.
Speaking of Charles..why is it that men tend to pick one haistyle in their teens and keep it til they die or loose it. which ever comes first
You sort of answered that question yourself.
Out of necessity or...
Because men are naturally confident and simple beings. We determine pretty early on that we look dashing in a certain way, so why change it?
In contrast to women we need not contemplate our hairstyle for hours at a time and we can thus devote ourselves to more important tasks, like eating, sex, sports and sleep.
Also, having one hairstyle is practical, we can groom our hair very quickly on auto-pilot at way-too-early-in-the-morning, using a simple comb or a sponge, thus we don't have to get up more than ten minuttes before we leave for work.
While women has to get up about two hours before, donning her hair - then changing her mind. Selecting an outfit to wear - then changing her mind. Selecting a bag and a scarf to go with that, then changing her outfit again, because they don't match. Then studying her behind for about ten minuttes, lest it should have grown overnight, before putting on warpaint.
- You don't see that many men go through a similar process and that's why men are blissful.
