The clip, which has now surpassed 3.2 million views on X, shows what many online users believe to be a noticeable scar along the left temple of the Princess of Wales. The footage quickly reignited speculation that had largely quieted down earlier in the year.
Claims Linking the Scar to a 2024 Medical Emergency
Online theories trace back to January 2024, when Spanish journalist Concha Calleja alleged that Kate “was in great danger” following abdominal surgery and had been placed into an induced coma to save her life.
According to The Times of London, Calleja appeared on Spanish television claiming she had “spoken to an aide from the royal household in a completely off-the-record manner,” an assertion that Palace sources strongly denied.
“The doctors had to take drastic decisions at that moment because of the complications that arose,” Calleja reportedly said.
“The decision was to put her in an induced coma. They had to intubate her. There were serious complications that they didn’t expect because the operation went well, but the postoperative period didn’t go so well.”
She added that “the concern in the royal household was palpable. It was about saving her life.”
