Prince William recently made a visit to Cardiff Metropolitan University, where he engaged with various businesses and organizations promoting the benefits of seaweed.
During his time there, the Prince shared a personal anecdote from his childhood, likening a scar on his head to that of the famous wizard Harry Potter.
Recalling the incident, William recounted how he sustained the injury as a young child when he was accidentally struck by a golf club.
Despite the passage of time, the scar above his left eye serves as a lasting reminder of the incident, as reported by GB News.
In an intriguing turn of events, Prince William engaged in a discussion with Pierre Posselier, co-founder of Notpla, a company specializing in seaweed-based packaging for renowned music and sports venues in the UK.
The official social media account of the Prince and Princess of Wales shared images from the event, highlighting the innovative use of seaweed at the Earthshot Prize event in Cardiff.
The post celebrated the involvement of Earthshot finalists at Notpla and Sea Forest Australia, along with numerous other businesses pioneering the utilization of seaweed in various sectors such as food sustainability, product development, and biomedical sciences.
Amidst the event, Prince William was seen sampling a biodegradable tea crafted from algae sourced from the sea.
When asked about his interest in golf, William humorously responded that he had not played the sport since the incident that led to his scar at the age of 8 in 1991.
The mishap occurred when a friend’s club accidentally struck him while they were at a boarding school in Berkshire, necessitating immediate medical attention at Reading’s Royal Berkshire Hospital.
The resulting scar bore a striking resemblance to the iconic lightning bolt scar of Harry Potter, the beloved character from J.K. Rowling’s renowned book series.
Reflecting on the enduring impact of his childhood injury, Prince William once shared his experience with a young cancer patient during an interview on BBC’s Newsround.
Recounting the incident, he vividly described the unexpected blow to his head while playing golf with a friend.
Remarkably, William noted that his scar occasionally glows, drawing parallels to the distinctive feature of Harry Potter.
He remarked on how some people notice the scar’s luminosity while others remain oblivious to it, adding a touch of whimsy to his narrative.
