Royal pain! Prince William still has scar from flying 7-iron
England's Prince William has revealed the source of the "Harry Potter" scar on his forehead on a BBC television show. According to the Golfonline UK, it was caused by a flying 7-iron, although he didn't say who threw it.
The royal was hurt when goofing around on a putting green at the tender age of ten, when he was hit with a golf iron.
In a feature on the BBC's Newsround programme, the Prince compared the
mark with that of fictional teenage wizard Harry Potter, who also has a
scratch on his forehead.
"I call it that because it glows sometimes and some people notice it – other times they don't notice it at all," said William.
"We were on a putting green and the next thing you know there was a
seven-iron and it came out of nowhere and it hit me in the head."
The moral of the story? Duck.

How can a seven iron be anywhere near a green?
