PRINCESS Kate has revealed a painful-looking hand injury on a visit to a prison.
Kate, who donned a navy power suit to tour HMP High Down in Surrey, had injured her fingers while trampolining, it was revealed.
Kate's visit – where she spoke to inmates struggling with addictions – came as sister-in-law Meghan touched down briefly in the UK on the way to join Harry in Germany today.
Kate wore skin-coloured plasters wrapped around two fingers as she was snapped entering the prison on Tuesday morning.
It's not the first time the royal has sported plasters on her hands.
She stepped out for her first engagement of 2020 with Prince William in Bradford, and was seen wearing a plaster on her thumb.

This time Kate was said to have injured her hand keeping fit on a trampoline.
A Kensington Palace spokesman said it was “a small injury, nothing serious".
Kate previously spoke about jumping on the trampoline to keep fit with her children before school.
In January she told the England’s wheelchair rugby league team: “It's running around after the children – I do it all, whenever I can squeeze in exercise I do, even jumping on the trampoline with my children before school."

Kate will today hear about the efforts of The Forward Trust she supports as patron ahead of Addiction Awareness Week.
She arrived at the prison with her brunette tresses weaved into flowing waves that framed her lightly made up face.
The Princess of Wales teamed her navy blazer with a plain white top, accessorising with a necklace featuring the initials of her three children – George, Charlotte and Louis.
It comes amid continuing confusion over Meghan Markle's role in the upcoming Invictus Games.
Prince Harry travelled to Dusseldorf to watch the multi-sport event from September 9.
Meanwhile, Meghan was pictured leaving LAX and is believed to have touched down briefly in Heathrow on her way to Germany.
The theme of this year's Addiction Awareness Week is "Everybody Knows Somebody", which aims to highlight the vast array of people affected by addiction.
The princess will shadow a family during a normal visit, starting with the security procedures to enter the Category C men's prison and young offender institution.
It houses around 1,100 prisoners.
She will hear about the impact this has on families and will learn about the recent efforts HMP High Down has put into practice to make the experience more positive for children in particular.
Later serving prisoners working with The Forward Trust talk to Kate about their experiences and the support they are receiving from the charity and prison.
The Forward Trust delivers a range of services at HMP High Down, tailored to meet the needs of the men who reside there.

They include The Bridge, an intensive abstinence-based programme, Stepping Stones, a low to medium intensity intervention for those whose alcohol or drug consumption is at harmful or dependent levels, and Family Ties, a course of workshops focused on restoring healthy communication and trust between loved ones.
Before leaving Kate will visit The Clink, an on-site restaurant which trains prisoners in hospitality, where she will meet with former prisoners and Forward Trust alumni.
