Princess Eugenie opens up about scoliosis surgery, says she has come to be 'very proud' of her scar

When the world watched Princess Eugenie walk down the aisle of St George’s Chapel in October, they saw more than just a happy bride
UPDATED DEC 23, 2018

Princess Eugenie made for an absolutely beautiful bride, but when she walked down that aisle at St. George's Chapel in October, the world bore witness to one more thing apart from the wedding.

The princess had deliberately added a bare back to her Christopher de Vos and Peter Pilotto gown, with its folded neckline and full skirt, to show off, rather than hide, a scar as thick as a piece of string which runs neatly down her spine. 

And all of a sudden, on her wedding of all other days, did everyone perceive how much the princess’s young life had been affected by her scoliosis diagnosis at the age of 11,  both physically and emotionally. “I believe scars are like memories that tell a story on your body, that remind you how strong you had to be, and that you survived to talk about it,” Princess Eugenie said in a recent Telegraph interview.
