- By CATHERINE WYLIE

Donaldtrum­phascalled­princess Eugenie a “truly beautiful bride”, but incorrectl­y said her wedding was on Saturday.

The US president referred to “yesterday” when he tweeted his praise yesterday afternoon, two days after Eugenie tied the knot with Jack Brooksbank on Friday.

The couple sealed their union with two kisses on the steps of St George’s Chapel following their ceremony, before an afternoon reception in Windsor Castle and a bash at the York family home on Friday night.

Mr Trump wrote on Twitter yesterday: “Princess Eugenie of York was a truly beautiful bride yesterday. She has been

through so much, and has come out a total winner!”

The president may be referring to Eugenie’s successful operation to straighten her spine after she was diagnosed with scoliosis as a 12-year-old.

The princess received

treatment at the Royal National Orthopaedi­c Hospital (RNOH), and ahead of her big day she reflected on the surgery and the importance of the charity during an interview with ITV’S This Morning.

She told host Eamonn Holmes: “I’m patron of their appeal and I had an operation when I was 12 on my back, and you’ll see on Friday, but 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.

“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. So that’s one really important one.

“But separate to that, other organisati­onsthatare­there,it’s just very important that they getachance­tobehonour­edfor the work that they do constantly, so it’s lovely that I can share this special day with them.”

Meanwhile, Eugenie and Jack are pictured holding hands and kissing in official photograph­s released to mark their wedding day.
