Princess Eugenie announced the name of her newborn son on Saturday – and it contains a sweet nod to her grandfather, Prince Philip.
Eugenie shared the name, August Philip Hawke Brooksbank, with her 1.3 million followers Instagram.
August, born on February 9, is the first child of Princess and husband Jack Brooksbank, who was married in 2018.
The tribute comes because Philip, also known as the Duke of Edinburgh, is resting in hospital for a few days after falling ill on Tuesday night.
‘Thank you for so many wonderful messages. Our hearts are full of love for this little person, words cannot express, ”Eugenie (30) posted. “We are excited to share these photos with you.”
The photos accompanying the news report show the couple holding August, wearing a blue hat and wrapped in a matching blanket.
In her caption, Eugenie also reveals that Augustus was born to a midwife, who took the photos of the new family.
“Thank you to the wonderful essential workers, including our midwife who came to dismiss our son,” Eugenie wrote.
Eugenie is the youngest daughter of Sarah Ferguson and the disgrace of Prince Andrew, and the third youngest of Philip and the queen’s eight grandchildren.
