So how did the scar come about?

It was first spotted a few years ago, and at the time people mistook it for hair extensions.

However the Palace ended up releasing a statement at the time saying: “The scar is related to a childhood operation."

They declined to comment on the nature of the operation due to it being a private matter, but senior royal sources said it had been a “very serious operation”, according to the .

John Scurr, a consultant surgeon at the Lister Hospital in London, told the publication that it was unlikely to have been down to a tumour.

While the operation remains a mystery, recent photos show Kate styling her hair in a way that conceals the scar when she wears it up.

Her husband Prince William, 36, also has a scar on his head, and refers to it as his “Harry Potter” scar.

The forehead scar is said to be the result of being hit with a golf club when he was 13.
