Following her attendance at a charity event at Clarence House in 2011, where she didn't sport her usual bouncy blow dry, royal fans were able to spot the appearance of the scar on her head and were left slightly concerned.
It led many fans to speculate whether she had been under a serious operation in the past although some fans thought they could just be hair extensions.
