Princess Eugenie makes emotional admission about Prince Harry in key message
Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson’s daughter Princess Eugenie left royal fans stunned as she made a big admission about her cousin Prince Harry’s inspiring move.
The Princess of York, who was once called the Duke’s close friend, has dropped a reference to Harry’s Invictus Games during a heartfelt discussion about scoliosis.
Eugenie, who underwent surgery for the condition aged just 12 in 2002, spoke of Scoliosis Support & Research charity while discussing her experience with two young people who had also suffered from scoliosis.
She reflected on the moment she wore a wedding dress that proudly displayed her surgery scar, saying: “I just think scars tell a story about your life.”
King Charles III’s niece emphasised the impact of taking pride in scars, be they from operations or any other traumatic life experiences.
“All these people overcome all these absolute atrocities and wear their scars with pride, as a badge of honour,” Eugenie celebrated.
The Princess explored the impact of Paralympians in showing that their pride on the “world stage”.
The Princes also praised the “Invictus Games” as a venue for athletes to provide such examples, alongside the Paralympics, celebrating the event as an opportunity to help people with surgery and more scars.
Continuing her point, the Princess compared the experience of athletes at the Invictus Games to “these operations that young people go through”.
The Invictus Games, founded by Prince Harry in 2014, sees injured veterans and serving military personnel compete in various sporting events.
In a previous interview with The Telegraph, she also revealed how her mother Ferguson, popularly known as Fergie, made her realise that there’s nothing to be afraid of, saying: “She’d ask me if she could show it to people, then she’d turn me around and say, ‘my daughter is superhuman, you’ve got to check out her scar.
“All of sudden it was a badge of honour – a cool thing I had. It trained my brain that it’s ok, scars are cool. It became a positive memory, a part of me, that I could do something with in the future. I could help heal other people,” the 35-year-old celebrated.
