And in her emotional video for the campaign, Princess Eugenie revealed, “I’m living proof that all these young people who have the same thing I have, maybe more so, or not, I have done it, I’ve been through it, and I want to be able to help as much as I can.”

As the Scoliosis Research Society explains: “Everyone’s spine has subtle natural curves. But some people have different curves, side-to-side spinal curves that also twist the spine. This condition is called ‘scoliosis.’ On an x-ray with a front or rear view of the body, the spine of a person with scoliosis looks more like an “S” or a “C” than a straight line.”

Princess Eugenie is preparing for her wedding to Jack Brooksbank this fall. Set to take place on October 12, 2018, Eugenie will marry her fiancé at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle, the very same location that Meghan Markle married Prince Harry.
