Hearing the sound of birds and running water has tremendous healing power. </p><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:75%;"><img style="aspect-ratio:554/554;" src="https://cdn.sbisiali.com/news/images/73b733d7-024b-4f71-9e89-ef4f31d1dce1.jpeg" alt="Princess Eugenie"></figure><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Princess Eugenie reportedly underwent her surgery at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital (RNOH) in Stanmore, which is now one of seven centres containing Horatio Gardens, where flowers and landscapes are arranged to be seen from all angles, even from patients' beds.</p><h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <span style="color:hsl(187, 48%, 51%);">The scar: from a source of embarrassment to a source of personal pride</span></h2><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Princess Eugenie recalls that time: I was too young to notice that I couldn't go out, all I cared about was where my parents and sister were.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> But I remember feeling helpless as I watched someone outside waving to my gorgeous red-haired nurse, and I couldn't reach them or even get out of bed. </p><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:75%;"><img style="aspect-ratio:1024/575;" src="https://cdn.sbisiali.com/news/images/724b4ef8-85e6-4c7d-a00d-ef164091d8c0.webp" alt="Princess Eugenie"></figure><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> She also recalled feeling "embarrassed" by the scar from the operation, which involved 8-inch titanium rods on either side of her spine and screws in the top of her neck.<br> But her mother, Sarah Ferguson, changed her view of that scar when she told people: My daughter is super.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Eugenie recounts: “My mother was amazing. She would ask me to show people the scar and say, ‘Look at the scar, my daughter is amazing.’ Suddenly, the scar became a symbol of pride… something special to me.”</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> This positive feeling extended to her October 2018 wedding to Jack Brooksbank, where she wore a Peter Pilotto gown that intentionally showed off her scar. </p><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:75%;"><img style="aspect-ratio:480/639;" src="https://cdn.sbisiali.com/news/images/9ffbb82d-4bb6-4a98-b38f-a71050188a59.jpeg" alt="Princess Eugenie"></figure><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Eugenie said: "My mother's positivity programmed my mind to believe that scars were normal, even wonderful. They became a beautiful memory and a part of me through which I could help others."</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> The princess continues to support others through her patronage of Horatio Park, the RNOH, the Teenage Cancer Trust, and more. Although she is not a working royal (i.e., she does not receive a public income), she works full-time at Hauser & Wirth, alongside her role as a mother to two children, August (4) and Ernst (1). </p><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:75%;"><img style="aspect-ratio:600/380;" src="https://cdn.sbisiali.com/news/images/c1ba6a32-cf6f-407d-8b65-514e7c636c38.jpeg" alt="Princess Eugenie"></figure><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Eugenie says: "I think I've struck a good balance in my life. I have a wonderful husband, a supportive team, and projects I love. I don't feel comfortable if I'm not doing my charity work, taking care of my family, and pursuing my career. I love what I do."</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> She added that motherhood completely changed her view of her medical experience as a child, explaining that her parents - Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson - were undoubtedly "terrified" during her surgery, although they didn't show it.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> “I now dread if one of my children hits their head, or even asks to use scissors! I immediately think: Do we have to go to the emergency room?” </p><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:75%;"><img style="aspect-ratio:1500/842;" src="https://cdn.sbisiali.com/news/images/bf5a40cb-d8b7-4f1d-be86-3f4931a0f7ca.webp" alt="Princess Eugenie"></figure><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Princess Eugenie explained that Horatio Gardens benefit not only patients but their families as well: patients' children need a place to run, and the patients themselves need their own space. Living with a spinal injury is extremely difficult.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> She also volunteers her time to talk to children who are facing surgeries similar to hers, providing them with psychological and spiritual support. </p><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:75%;"><img style="aspect-ratio:739/415;" src="https://cdn.sbisiali.com/news/images/cdb9e0ea-eace-4a12-9503-202710d74e1c.jpeg" alt="Princess Eugenie"></figure><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> She said: “Sometimes I talk to children on the phone who don’t know what to ask. I tell them: Don’t be ashamed… not about the scar, not about the whole experience, not even about using the potty. The people who take care of you in these circumstances are angels. I tell them: Don’t be afraid to receive care.”</p>
