Princess Eugenie has been named as the Scoliosis Association UK (SAUK)'s Royal Patron, helping to 'raise the profile of the charity and expand its appeal and its message'.

The Royal was born with the condition and had surgery to correct her spine at the age of 12, and Stephanie Clark, co-founder and chair of SAUK, says 'I am absolutely delighted and grateful that Princess Eugenie is to be our Royal Patron. Her bravery and experience makes this a very personal decision, and will continue to offer encouragement to the many people of all ages who are struggling to come to terms with their scoliosis.'
