Your support makes all the difference.Princess Eugenie has released a never-before-seen photo from her wedding day to Jack Brooksbank, showing the pair in a loving embrace after exchanging their vows.
The couple married on 12 October at St George’s Chapel in Windsor, the same location where the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were married five months before.
Princess Eugenie shared the photo on Instagram yesterday just over a month after her wedding, with the caption: “#tbt to THE greatest day of my life.”
In the photo Princess Eugenie can be seen wearing her ivory wedding gown, which was designed by Peter Pilotto and Christopher De Vos.
The dress featured a neckline that folded around the bride's shoulders and a low back design at her request.
Princess Eugenie specifically chose to wear a dress with a low back for the royal wedding so that the scars on her back that she acquired after having an operation at 12 years old to correct her scoliosis would be visible.
She spoke about her decision to have her scars visible prior to her nuptials, explaining that she wanted to raise awareness for the condition.
"It's a lovely way to honour the people who looked after me and a way of standing up for young people who also go through this," Princess Eugenie said during an interview on ITV's This Morning.
"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."
A number of people have been expressing their admiration for the newlyweds under Princess Eugenie's Instagram post.
"What a gorgeous photo!!!! You two are simply beaming with happiness," one person wrote.
"You looked absolutely stunning on your special day! But more than that, your happiness was visible," another well-wisher commented.
"Congratulations and [wishing you] a lifetime of friendship, health, happiness and love."
