Princess Eugenie launches “Impossible, Possible”-campaign

Princess Eugenie has visited the Rehabilitation Unit at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital Charity for the launch of the “Impossible, Possible” campaign.

The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital (RNOH) Charity supports the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, which treats people with difficult orthopaedic conditions. Princess Eugenie became the Patron of the RNOH Charity in March 2019. During her visit, she saw the Prosthetic Rehabilitation Unit, where prosthetics are made. The new campaign aims to raise awareness of the work of the RNOH and the Charity.

Princess Eugenie, who is a former patient of RNOH as well as the Charity’s Patron, said, “I am
delighted to be here today to once again see the life-changing work taking place at the
Hospital. This is a charity which is very close to my heart. After everything I went through as a child with scoliosis, I know from my own experience how debilitating an orthopaedic condition can be.

“It has been inspirational to meet those here today who have benefitted from the expertise of the hospital’s staff and services and hear first-hand how truly life-changing this has been for them, as it was for me when I was a child. The RNOH Charity is integral to what the hospital achieves in delivering such stellar care for so many people.”

Princess Eugenie met two-year-old Posie-Aurora Sadler-Smith from Suffolk, who suffers from a rare disorder called fibular hemimelia, which means that the bones in her lower limbs did not develop properly.
