Unexpected recognition of Victoria
Fans who are interested in the life of the princess are accustomed to seeing her in great shape and always smiling. Despite this, few people remember that some 20 years ago the crown princess looked very bad. In her last interview, Victoria decided to tell a little about that period of her life:
"When I look at my photos, which I'm 20, I'm just horrified. On them, I'm very thin and it was possible to assume that I suffer from anorexia, but it was not so. At this age I had serious digestive problems. Seeing the exhaustion of my body, my parents insisted that I go to the US for a clinic that specializes in such cases. I underwent an intensive course of therapy, after all, when the doctors found out that in two months I had lost two dozen kilograms, I was seriously worried about my condition. After they managed to restore digestive processes in my body, I returned home. I was assigned a strict diet, according to which I had to eat by the clock and eat what the doctors insisted on. To my surprise and joy, the disease began to recede, but for a long time it reminded me of myself, forcing me to carefully monitor the diet. "
