As a senior member of the royal family,Kate Middleton is known forfollowing certain protocols when it comes to what she can and can’t wear while completing special engagements.
However, despite these protocols, the Princess of Wales has made a name for herself for her cutting edge looks and is often spotted out in breathtaking outfits, experimenting with dopamine dressing and trousers suits.
But away from her incredible taste in fashion, the 40 year old is also known for having sported an unsuspecting accessory in the form of a plaster at various royal engagements.
Throughout the years, Kate has made headlines for wearing flesh-coloured plasters on her hands, most recently during the summer while in Cardiff as part of Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
As she greeted crowds,the mum-of-three was spotted with a plaster on her thumb, leading some royal fans to question why that may be.
But this isn’t the first time that Kate’s plaster wearing has been the source of speculation.
In fact, back in 2016 Kate was seen wearing a plaster while at Sandringham on Christmas Day and then in November 2018 she was seen with a circular patch on her finger.
Elsewhere, the royal also had a plaster on her thumb during the Chelsea Flower Show in 2019.
In the past, when asked about the issue, Buckingham Palace has said: “We have no comment on the plaster.”
However, given the Princess of Wales’ well-documented love for the great outdoors, some royal fans have questioned whether her plaster wearing could be because of her gardening hobby.
Meanwhile others have speculated that the minor injuries could be a result ofher being a hands-on mum to George, Charlotte and Louis.
But speaking toDaily Express about the matter, Dr Anton Alexandroff, a spokesman for the Consultant Dermatologist & British Skin Foundation argued that using plasters to heal cuts isn’t necessarily the best thing to do.
“Wearing plasters isn’t that helpful because the skin doesn’t breathe as well and it takes longer to heal,” he said.
“As a mum, you are washing your hands all the time, so it is important to moisturise regularly.
“Using moisturiser is the best way to heal a scratch.”
Luckily,Kate’s cuts seemed to have all cleared up for her joint engagement with Prince William to Yorkshire earlier this week.
As the pair headed to Scarborough to launch a new fund aimed at supporting young people’s mental health, Kate looked very stylish as she wore head to toe camel.
