Princess Eugenie has discussed the trauma of her scoliosis diagnosis.
The royal – who recently wed Jack Brooksbank – discussed what happened at her first wedding dress fitting.
“After one or two initial meetings where I said I wanted to show my back and scar, we had a fitting and in their first attempt at the shape and design of the dress, they got me and the vision in one,” she told the Telegraph.
“From there, we realised that the back of the dress was the centre point and a veil would take away from the scar and the beautiful design they had created.”

The 28-year-old had life saving back surgery at age 12. Eugenie had titanium added to her spine to rebuild it as a result of a curvature.
“There are so many emotions and worries that go thundering through your head,“ Eugenie added “Will I be able to play sports, or will I look the same, or will I miss a lot of school and be behind? I remember being angry about not being able to run and play.”
The Princess is now a patron of the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital.
