Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine and if left un-operated can be dangerous. When Eugenie was 12 she underwent an 8-hour surgery to correct her scoliosis and to fix the misalignment. Earlier this week it was announced that Eugenie has become a royal patron of the Scoliosis Association UK.
Two years ago Eugenie showed her X-rays for the very first time which linked to a blog post she had written for the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital (RNOH), where she had the surgery.
