Prince William , 41, has a permanent ' Harry Potter ' scar from where a fellow Ludgrove school pupil accidentally hit him on the forehead with a golf club in 1991. The accident, when he was eight, left him with a fractured skull and needing major surgery at Great Ormond Street Hospital.
Speaking to 2022 Earthshot Prize winner and co-founder of sustainable seaweed product and packaging company Notpla, Pierre Paslier, William gestured to his scar when asked if he played. 'No, ask me what's happened to me up here - it was a golf club,' he said. The Prince of Wales has joked about his famous ' Harry Potter ' scar when he came across a golf tee made from seaweed during his visit to Cardiff today (pictured) He was reunited with Mr Paslier during a 'fact-finding' seaweed day hosted in Cardiff Metropolitan University to discuss new investment and innovation in the sector.
William met wit.
