Kate Middleton's three-inch head scar remains a mystery after 'childhood operation'
Kate Middleton recently shared details about her abdominal surgery, but one health concern that has only been briefly mentioned is her head scar.
Kensington Palace announced on Wednesday Kate Middleton underwent a “planned abdominal surgery” at The London Clinic on the previous day. It was the first time the palace disclosed information about the Princess Of Wales’ health, aside from her severe morning sickness during her pregnancy with Prince Louis. One health concern that has remained unexplained is her head scar, which royalists first noticed in 2011.
Kate Middleton is tight-lipped about her head scar
Kate’s go-to hairstyle is leaving her brunette bouncy curls loose, but she has sported updos over the years, particularly when wearing a fascinator.
In October 2011, six months after her wedding to Prince William, Middleton appeared at her first solo engagement at Clarence House, London, wearing her hair in a half-up half-down style. Royal watchers noticed the princess had a large white line peeping through her hair on the left side of her scalp. The three-inch scar runs down her temple towards the ear.
Some suggested it was a hockey injury during her stint as captain of the female field hockey team at Marlborough College, while others speculated the royal was wearing hair extensions.
A spokesperson for the royals put the rumors to bed, telling E News the scar was the result of a “childhood operation”. No further details were disclosed, and Kate has never talked about it since.
She got candid about her severe morning sickness
In addition to announcing their pregnancy with Louis in September 2017, Kensington Palace revealed Kate was suffering from Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG), a severe form of morning sickness, for the third time. It is much worse than the normal nausea and vomiting of pregnancy. Symptoms include prolonged and excessive vomiting.
In 2020, the royal revealed how the condition made her pregnancies “challenging”.
“I got very bad morning sickness, so I’m not the happiest of pregnant people,” she told Giovanna Fletcher on the Happy Mum, Happy Baby Podcast. Middleton recalled feeling “rotten” and was unable to eat the necessary foods.
Kate used hypnobirthing throughout all three of her labors, a method of pain management that involves relaxation, deep breathing techniques, and visualizations.
