Princess Eugenie has shared a heartfelt message on Instagram amid the ongoing royal crisis, highlighting her commitment to scoliosis awareness.
Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson's younger daughter posted a throwback picture from her 2018 wedding to Jack Brooksbank, where she proudly displayed the scar from her childhood operation to correct scoliosis.
Eugenie's post comes at a tumultuous time for the Royal Family, with King Charles and Princess Kate battling cancer and Princess Anne hospitalized with a head injury.
In her Instagram story, Eugenie shared the iconic photo of her wedding dress, designed by Peter Pilotto and Christopher de Vos, which revealed her back scar. She used the post to promote Scoliosis Awareness Day and the charities that support spinal health.
Eugenie wrote: "Did you know it's Scoliosis Awareness Day tomorrow?" She also highlighted her support for Horatio’s Garden and the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital Charity, both of which provide essential services for spinal patients.
Eugenie's statement read: "Horatio’s Garden is a charity that builds gardens in hospital spinal centres around the UK, providing a much-needed space for patients to enjoy nature in an accessible way. Horatio’s Garden London & South East opened in 2020 at the London Spinal Cord Injury Centre in the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, Stanmore, where I had my scoliosis surgery as a child.
"I am also so proud to be patron of the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital Charity, which supports all patients at the hospital."
She concluded by encouraging support for these charities: "While you may not experience scoliosis, supporting these charities can help support hundreds of children and patients in need of care."
