Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, had emergency surgery as a teenager to remove a lump from her head, revealed a new royal biography by Rob Jobson titled 'Catherine, the Princess of Wales'.

Diagnosed with cancer in March, the Princess is currently undergoing preventative chemotherapy.

In June, she shared that she was making good progress but acknowledged the challenges of her treatment.

When she was at Marlborough College, a lump was discovered on the left side of her head, which was surgically removed, leaving a noticeable three-inch scar.

The Buckingham Palace later confirmed that the scar was from a childhood operation.

Despite her ongoing treatment, Kate was recently seen at several public engagements, including the Wimbledon Men's final.
