Why does Catherine always have a plaster on? Is she more accident prone than the rest of us!

What do you mean by always? That's an old photo 😏

stanleycrickets · 05/10/2022 20:10

I’ve never noticed her wearing a plaster before. Is it always in the same place? Maybe she’s got ‘I ❤️ big Willy’ tattooed around her thumb and likes it covered in public…

Why do people feel the need to zoom in on photos to find anything ?

AsAnyFuleKno · 05/10/2022 20:11

Well, tiaras have quite sharp edges!

I’ve always assumed she’s got a wart on her thumb, as she’s worn a plaster for years

It was today.

That's not an old photo, I'm sure it was today.

She often has a plaster on when she's doing the public rounds. Maybe a stubborn wart that won't go away.

Surely with all her money and resources she’d have had it removed rather than have to remember to always wear a plaster?

I’d presume she’d get it removed?!
She had no plaster on three days ago, so not looks like it isn’t permanently there.

I’ve noticed her wearing them a few times, but she has kids and seems more hands on with them than your usual royal, maybe she gets her fair share of paper cuts when doing arts and crafts with them?! 😂 Or maybe she has eczema, who knows 🤷🏻‍♀️

oh...I want to be where she was. It was coat weather today, not short sleeves 😣

There was an article in summer commenting on her plasters, it was because she likes gardening without gloves so maybe cutting a prickly rose

BeyondMyWits · 05/10/2022 20:23

I chew the skin on the top joint of my right thumb. I wear a plaster for work (or when I get fed up with myself and my bad habits)

Juniperwren11 · 05/10/2022 20:25

No idea, but I won't lose any sleep thinking about it.

It's odd. Something that has been picked up on many times before. I don't buy the arts and crafts/gardening reasons.

rocketfromthecrypt · 05/10/2022 20:31

I think people speculate because we're being fed an image of her as a perfect Princess with no flaws, and of course she isn't - she's just a human. Things like this spark curiosity because it's like an insight into her real life.

LaChatte · 05/10/2022 20:32

Has she got cats?

JaneJeffer · 05/10/2022 20:33

Learning guitar. Tennis player. Rowing machine ???? Who knows. All play havoc with hand skin.

Blisters from rowing or doing weights?
