The reason behind Prince William's 'Harry Potter' scar revealed

Wills often jokes of the incident. - by Nikki Black
  • 28 Aug 2018

This week, Kate Middleton made headlines after the story behind the huge head scar was revealed. Now, eagle-eyed royal fans have noticed Prince William has his very own 'Harry Potter' scar on his forehead, and the story behind that one is very, very royal.

When the 37-year-old Prince was thirteen, he was hit in the head with a golf club. 

'I call it [my Harry Potter scar] because it glows sometimes and some people notice it-other times they don't notice it at all,' William said in a 2009 interview.

'I got hit by a golf club when I was playing golf with a friend of mine. We were on a putting green and the next thing you know there was a seven-iron and it came out of nowhere and it hit me in the head.'

While Kate has never directly mentioned her scar in public, William regularly makes fun of his.
