On Friday, Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank tied the knot at St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle.
For her special day, Eugenie wore a Peter Pilotto gown, which intentionally showed off her scoliosis scar.
Before the wedding, the 28-year-old royal told ITV's “This Morning” about her dress choice, “I had an operation when I was 12 on my back, and you'll see on Friday [at the wedding], but it's a lovely way to honor the people who looked after me and a way of standing up for young people who also go through this.”
“I think you can change the way beauty is, and you can show people your scars, and I think it's really special to stand up for that,” she added.

Eugenie has been open about her issues with scoliosis. In June, she posted a pic on International Scoliosis Awareness Day, writing, “I'm very proud to share my X Rays for the very first time. I also want to honour the incredible staff at The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital who work tirelessly to save lives and make people better. They made me better and I am delighted to be their patron of the Redevelopment Appeal.”
The wedding comes 10 months after Eugenie and Jack announced their engagement.
