Either Prince William is a massive fan that took things too far or he had an accident but the Royal has a scar on his forehead just like Harry Potter.
So it turns out that the future King of Great Britain, Prince William, has a cracking scar on his forehead just like Harry Potter. He’s had it for a while and has never denied it when asked about it but nobody has really paid attention until now.
So what happened? Did the Prince have a huge accident? Was he born with it? Or is he such a super fan of the wizarding world who is super into cosplay and took things a bit far in order to win a Harry Potter lookalike contest?

Well, he wasn’t born with it, but he has had it for some time now, and no, he definitely didn’t do it on purpose in order to win a Harry Potter lookalike contest. In fact, it all happened before Harry Potter was even around.
Prince William ended up with the scar in 1995 when he was only 13; in an interview back in 2009, he admitted that he got the scar after being hit with a golf club by accident while having a round with his friend.

You can see why he doesn’t go around shouting about it because it is a pretty dull, and probably very embarrassing, story for him.
However, here is a fun thought. Did J.K. Rowling base Harry Potter’s scar off Prince William? Think about it for a moment, we are comparing the scar to Harry Potter. But, Prince William got it in 1995; before Rowling published the first Harry Potter story in 1998. Maybe, she heard about Prince William’s accident was inspired to give Harry a similar scar.
I will just leave you with that little nugget to contemplate over.
