Kate Middleton has a massive scar on her head and this is how she got it

KATE Middleton is known for glossy locks, but have you spotted her large scar in her hairline?

Eagle-eyed fans will have noticed that the Duchess of Cambridge, 36, has a secret three-inch scar on her left temple, that is often concealed by her stunning brunette hair.

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.

He said: “I really doubt it was any serious medical condition and I would say it is as a result of an arteriovenous malformation – a birthmark – being removed.

“It is remarkable, given the measurement, that no-one has noticed before.”

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.

Meanwhile, this is the bizarre reason why Meghan Markle and Prince Harry won’t have full custody of their own children.

Meghan is said to have visited Lake Como last weekend with Prince Harry, staying at the luxury villa belonging to George Clooney.

And her wedding dress could be going on display at Windsor Castle…and we can’t wait.
