The mystery behind the 3-inch scar on Kate Middleton that caught the attention of people during the recent black-tie charity event at Clarence House has finally been unfolded. The Daily Mail reported that the scar was due to a sporting accident while the Duchess was studying at Malborough School in Berkshire.

According to Palace sources, the three-inch scar was from a childhood operation. However, they refrained from revealing more, citing privacy reasons. However, the truth was revealed by some of Kate's childhood friends who knew the truth of the mysterious scar.
