Princess Eugenie shares rare snap of baby son August in an adorable Halloween costume

Princess Eugenie has shared a rare snap of her nine-month-old son August in a cute costume for Halloween.

She delighted royal fans by posting the adorable photo of her baby on Instagram showing him dressed as a little monster while playing with a soft Minion toy.

Eugenie captioned the sweet snap: "Wonder what they are talking about..." alongside a pumpkin and ghost emoji.

She also shared several Instagram stories, one showing August in his costume and another showing her attempt at carving a pumpkin.

Among those commenting on her posts was her brother-in-law Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, the husband of her sister Princess Beatrice, who put a pumpkin and a crying with laughter emoji.

One royal fan said: "Aww so sweet! Happy Halloween."

While another wrote: "Awwww so cute. Always fun trying to figure out their conversations too."

Eugenie and husband Jack Brooksbank welcomed their son, whose full name is August Philip Hawke Brooksbank, earlier this year in February.

His middle name Philip is in honour of Prince Philip, who died at 99 in April.

In a documentary about her late grandfather, which was broadcast earlier this year, Eugenie revealed August got to meet Philip - his great-grandfather - shortly before his death.

Holding back the tears, Eugenie explained: "We named August, August Philip because grandpa has been such a huge, inspiring character in my life.

"I brought little August to come and meet him and told him that we had named him after him and it was such a lovely moment.

"We were very lucky to do that."

Meanwhile, in September, Eugenie was among one of the first people to congratulate her sister Beatrice for giving birth to her first child.

Eugenie wrote on Instagram at the time: "To my new niece, I love you already and think you're just awesome from the photos.. we're going to have so much fun together. Love your Auntie Euge."
