Kate, the Princess of Wales, debuted a new, blonder hairstyle on a church outing Sunday with her family amid their summer vacation.

Kate was photographed in the passenger seat of an SUV driven by her husband Prince William, with their three children -- Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7 -- in the backseat.

The family was on their way to a church service with other members of Britain's royal family at Crathie Kirk, near Balmoral Castle in Scotland.

William and Kate and their children have not been photographed publicly together since earlier this summer, when they attended Trooping the Colour in London in June.

As Kate and her family wrap up their summer break this week, they will be preparing for a big move. The Wales family will move later this year to Forest Lodge, an eight-bedroom home on the Windsor Castle estate in Windsor, England, a Kensington Palace spokesperson confirmed to ABC News last week.

The Wales family currently lives in a four-bedroom home, Adelaide Cottage, which is also situated on the Windsor Castle estate.
