As of 2020, Prince William is second in line to the British throne and is the elder son of the Prince of Wales, Charles, and the former Princess of Wales, Diana who died tragically in a car crash. If you look closely, you’ll notice he has a gnarly forehead scar that hasn’t always been there, but how did he get it?

Prince William got his scar in 1991 after accidentally facing a blow to the head by a fellow student wielding a golf club which resulted in a skull fracture that was operated on thereby causing his “Harry Potter” scar.

Harry Potter Scar

Each year in the developed world 100 million patients acquire scars, some of which cause considerable problems, as a result of 55 million elective operations and 25 million operations after trauma (according to NCBI). No scars ever fully disappear; however, given enough time, scars have the ability to fade significantly so they’re barely visible.

On June 3, 1991, William was admitted to Royal Berkshire Hospital after being accidentally hit on the forehead by a fellow student with a golf club. He did not lose consciousness, but suffered a depressed fracture of the skull, and was operated on at Great Ormond Street Hospital, resulting in a permanent scar.
