Eugenie also chose to display her scar during her royal wedding
Princess Eugenie's back scar was also visible during her wedding to Jack Brooksbank in 2018— which was an intentional choice when it came to her choosing a wedding dress!
"I had always wanted a low back – part of it was showing my scar and I believe scars tell a story about your past and your future, and it’s a way of getting rid of a taboo," she revealed to People in 2019.
Eugenie says that showing her scar is "a way of communicating"
Eugenie went on to say why she felt it was important to show her scar! "For me, it’s a way of communicating with people who are going through either similar situations with scoliosis or having a scar of their own that they are trying to deal with," the royal told People.
"We started getting a lot of letters from people who were happy that I had stood up and showed my scar, and people with scoliosis, letters from girls that are going through the same thing and I definitely was very touched by everyone’s support."
