Kate Middleton has hinted at a possible return to public life this weekend as Prince William revealed the origins of his “Harry Potter” scar.
According to reports, the Princess of Wales may be “considering” a surprise appearance at the King’s annual birthday parade on Saturday, 15 June.
This comes after she apologised in a heartfelt letter for missing the final Trooping the Colour rehearsal, known as the Colonel’s Review, last weekend.
The Princess of Wales, who is the honorary Colonel of the Irish Guards, wrote: “Please pass my apologies to the whole Regiment, however, I do hope that I am able to represent you all once again very soon.”
Meanwhile, while on a visit to Wales to learn about innovations in the seaweed industry yesterday, Prince William explained how he got a Harry Potter scar.
He did so when asked if he played golf, then explained that the last time he did, he sustained an injury to his head that has now drawn comparisons in his mind with Harry Potter’s famous lightning bolt scar.

Harry and Meghan’s ‘contingency plan’ if Trump re-elected
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly making a “contingency plan” in the event of Donald Trump’s reelection in November.
The former president said that the Duke of Sussex, whose visa is currently being reviewed, would be treated like any other citizen if it emerges that he lied about his prior drug use on his application.
A source told New Idea: “The Sussexes are worried sick over the prospect of Donald Trump becoming president again – and making good on his vow to kick Prince Harry out of America.
“They’re putting together a contingency plan that would see them flee the country with their children [Archie and Lilibet] if Trump does return to office.”

This comes after the Duke of Sussex was seemingly snubbed by his father on his recent trip to the UK, when the King decided not to meet his youngest son citing his “busy schedule”.
Tom Quinn told The Mirror: “Harry has been asked directly by his father not to write or say publicly anything further about the family or his brother that might cause trouble.”

She explained that London’s Garden Museum is “such a special place” during her visit to celebrate women in gardening and expressed a desire to represent the institution.
