The reason behind Prince William’s ‘Harry Potter’ scar revealed

Wills often jokes of the incident.

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.
