Princess Eugenie shares beautiful new photo of her son as she celebrates special day

Princess Eugenie shared a gorgeous new photo of her baby boy to celebrate her first Mother's Day.

The Queen's granddaughter welcomed little August Philip Hawke Brooksbank, her first child with husband Jack Brooksbank, on February 9.

The new photo shows little August lying on the grass surrounded by daffodils in the sunshine.

He is wearing leggings covered in whales and adorable bunny rabbit slippers.

Eugenie wrote: "I'm so excited to be August's mum and as you can see I'm enjoying my first Mother’s Day. ⁣

"I'm also celebrating my beautiful Mumma with this picture of us from March 1990. You’ve taught me so much.

"Happy Mother’s Day to all."

She also shared a photo of her mum, Sarah Ferguson, holding her when she was a baby.

Eugenie's brother-in-law Edo, who married Princess Beatrice in a secret lockdown wedding last year, was among those to comment on the post - sharing three yellow hearts.

Eugenie welcomed August at The Portland Hospital, the same place she was born, and where Meghan Markle delivered little Archie.

A statement from Buckingham Palace shared a few hours after August was born said: "Her Royal Highness Princess Eugenie was safely delivered a son today, 9th February 2021, at 08:55hrs at The Portland Hospital. Jack Brooksbank was present.

"The baby weighs 8lbs 1oz.

"This is Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank’s first child, The Duke of York and Sarah, Duchess of York’s first grandchild, and the ninth great-grandchild for The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh. Her Royal Highness and her child are both doing well."

The following day Eugenie posted a lovely family photo to announce her son's name.

Alongside the picture, taken by her midwife, she wrote : "We wanted to introduce you to August Philip Hawke Brooksbank.

⁣"Thank you for so many wonderful messages. Our hearts are full of love for this little human, words can't express. We are excited to be able to share these photos with you.⁣

"Thank you to the wonderful essential workers including our midwife who came to discharge our boy."

August is 11th in line to the throne and knocks Prince Edward down to 12th position.

He makes Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson proud grandparents, and is an ninth great-grandchildren to the Queen and Prince Philip.
