Kate Middleton’s ‘scar’ theory gains traction after latest appearance
King Charles and senior members of the British royal family gathered at Westminster Abbey on Monday for the annual Commonwealth Day celebrations. Last year, both the 76-year-old monarch and his daughter-in-law, Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, were absent from the event while undergoing treatment for cancer.
However, both made a return for this year’s occasion, marking a significant moment in the royal calendar. Kate Middleton, accompanied by her husband Prince William, won praise from royal fans for what they called a “perfect curtsy” to King Charles. The Princess of Wales, who had stepped back from royal duties following her cancer diagnosis, is gradually resuming her public engagements.
While her appearance delighted supporters, some online users focused on what they claimed to be a visible scar on her face, fueling renewed conspiracy theories regarding her absence from public life earlier in 2024. A similar theory emerged following her appearance at the Trooping the Colour event on June 15, 2024, when observers noted what appeared to be a new mark near her left eye, extending from her eyebrow downward.
The speculation quickly spread across social media, with some questioning its origin and suggesting it hinted at something beyond the official royal statements. Officially, Kate has a well-documented three-inch scar on her left temple, partially concealed by her hairline. Kensington Palace first acknowledged it in 2011, attributing it to a “childhood operation,” though specific details of the procedure were never disclosed.

The Palace also dismissed speculation at the time that it was linked to cosmetic surgery or hair extensions. The latest conspiracy centers on whether the mark seen in recent images is a new scar or simply the existing one appearing more pronounced due to lighting, makeup, or natural aging.
While some argue that the “new” scar is merely the old one made more visible by different factors, others believe it indicates something more significant. However, Buckingham Palace has not addressed these latest claims, maintaining its official stance that Kate is recovering well from her cancer treatment and gradually resuming royal duties.
As the Princess of Wales continues to make public appearances, speculation about her health and well-being persists, but royal insiders emphasize that she remains committed to her role and her recovery.
