I’m a style whizz – the secret hair trick Kate Middleton uses to hide her scar
THE Princess of Wales is known for her glossy hair and she often wears it in a bouncy blow dry.
Eagle-eyed royal fans have claimed that the mum-of-three often sweeps it to one side to conceal a secret three-inch scar she has in her hairline.
One royal watcher claimed on the @princess__jo account: “Princess Catherine uses her hair to hide the defect.
“Kate most often appears in public with her hair loose and with the help of shiny curls styled in a certain way, she hides a noticeable scar on her head.
“The three-inch scar was first spotted in 2011 at a private dinner at Clarence House.”
When fans first saw the marking on Kate’s hair, some 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 Daily Mail.
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, 41, styling her hair in a way that conceals the scar when she wears it up.
Her husband Prince William, 41, 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.
