The Queen’s granddaughter, who was accompanied by her proud father the Duke of York, deserves particular credit for her choice of dress which featured a low back feature she specifically requested to show the scars from an operation she had as a 12-year-old child to correct scoliosis.
Explaining her decision prior to the ceremony in a television interview with ITV, she said: “I think you can change the way beauty is, and you can show people your scars and I think it’s really special to stand up for that.”
On her big day, Eugenie’s simple yet powerful gesture will be a priceless one for fellow scoliosis sufferers and their families who have been through similar experiences.
