The information which grabbed the attention of readers was Kate's childhood surgery scar, which is about three inches long and still visible on her temple.

Kate Middleton is reportedly never publicly talked about her operation. However, a royal spokesperson confirmed the surgery in 2011.

In a comment to E! News, a royal aide said, "The scar is related to a childhood operation."

It is pertinent to mention that the news related to Princess Catherine's surgery once again made it to the headlines following her absence from Royal Ascot 2025.
