Princess Eugenie reveals emotional reaction to showing scar on royal wedding day - Today News US  Having made the brave decision to expose the scar on her back from a scoliosis operation, the 28-year-old royal said she was “very touched” by letters from sufferers of the illness sent to her after the Windsor bash. The Queen’s granddaughter said: “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. “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.” She added: “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.”  Her words are featured in audio commentary for a new Windsor Castle exhibition about her wedding day outfits to break a “taboo” on scars. Her beautiful gown was designed by Peter Pilotto and Christopher De Vos and was crafted with a low back at the request of the Princess, who had the operation to correct a curve in her spine at the tender age of 12. She wed Mr Brooksbank last October.

Will Princess Eugenie's sister get MARRIED?  Speaking of her dress, she added in the commentary: “I wanted something reminiscent of Grace Kelly in To Catch A Thief so I showed that for reference and Zac came up with this silk that he had found from Manchester. “Every single draping effect, every single detail, every button is all painstakingly done by him and his team.” She also refers to the stunning Greville Emerald Kokoshnik tiara she wore, which was lent to her by the Queen. She said: “It was the most incredible thing to wear such a piece of history that my grandmother had lent me, very proud moment and the beautiful earrings were a gift from my husband.” The tiara was reported to be the result of a rift between the Queen and Meghan Markle, who wanted to wear it for her wedding to Prince Harry last May at the same venue. But the Queen told the former actress no, which resulted in a “very heated exchange”. Meghan wore the Queen Mary Lozenge Tiara instead.
