- Princess Eugenie visited the Salisbury District Hospital location of Horatio’s Garden, a charity that creates gardens for spinal injury patients.
- During the visit, she reflected on her own spinal surgery at age 12 to correct scoliosis, recalling the physical and emotional challenges of her recovery.
- Eugenie emphasised the importance of not being ashamed of the experience, including the surgical scar, which her mother, Sarah Ferguson, helped her view as a "badge of honour."
- The princess often offers support to parents of children undergoing similar surgeries, providing encouragement and reassurance.
- Eugenie balances her charity work with her role at Hauser & Wirth gallery and motherhood, citing her family's influence, particularly her grandmother, the late Queen, for instilling a strong sense of duty.
