Personal life
editKathryn was born in Palmers Green, London, England. She is six minutes older than her twin sister, Megan. In providing her "Top Ten Playlist" on the Skins official website, Prescott named Röyksopp, The Cardigans and Metallica as her favourite music.[4] In response to a fan's question on her official website, Prescott revealed that she would prefer to not label herself regarding her sexuality, and "does not think people are defined by their sexuality", suggesting that "it doesn't change who you are as a person".[5][6] Following another question, she revealed that while she is not "strictly" a vegetarian, she is wary of what meat she consumes.[7]
On 7 September 2021, Prescott was struck by a truck while crossing the street in Brooklyn, and suffered serious injuries, including a fractured pelvis, legs, a foot, and a hand.[8][9] On 1 October 2021, her sister Megan revealed Kathryn had been released from the hospital and was recovering at home.[10] Prescott's sister was initially denied emergency entry to the United States, due to travel restrictions put in place to combat the spread of COVID-19, despite providing evidence of vaccination and a negative test as well as her sister's medical records, but the decision was ultimately reversed after Prescott went public about the ordeal.[11]
