Back in 2019, Princess Eugenie also imbued her wedding gown with a heartfelt message. Her silk Peter Pilotto gown was intentionally designed to expose the long surgical scar running down the bride's spine - one she has had since undergoing scoliosis surgery as a child. Eugenie's decision to make her scar part of her wedding look brings to mind one of her not-so-distant ancestors, Queen Alexandra, who felt such pressure to hide her own scars and spinal curvature that she transformed fashion history by masking them.

"'Several of us went together with my mother [Empress Maria Feodorovna] and Aunt Alix [Princess Alexandra of Wales]. That afternoon my mother wore a big hat, in broad brim trimmed with very bright red cherries…' The Empress and her sister stopped to look at a chimpanzee. The ape liked the look of the cherries. He pushed his arms through the bars and snatched at the hat, but an elastic held it secure to the Empress's head. The ape yelled and pulled harder. The Empress screamed and pulled in her turn. The Princess of Wales seized her by the waist and began pulling in her turn. In the end, the chimpanzee, deciding that a handful of cherries was hardly worth such a lot of trouble, let go [of] the hat so violently that the elastic snapped, the hat flew off the Empress's head and settled in the cap of a passer by."
