Princess Eugenie was every bit the proud and doting mother as she celebrated her youngest son Ernest’s first birthday on Thursday, May 30.
To mark the special occasion, the royal shared several previously unseen photographs of her children, Ernest and August, on Instagram. She shares both children with her husband, Jack Brooksbank.
“One year of you my dear Ernest. Happy birthday!! We all love you so much, especially your enormous smile you give the world.. but you always save an extra special one for Mumma,” penned the mother-of-two.
In one delightful photograph, Princess Eugenie captured her eldest son August playfully kissing his little brother Ernest on the cheek.
The picture appears to have been taken at the Natural History Museum in London, with the boys gazing at the magnificent dinosaur skeletons hanging from the ceiling. In the sweet snap, August’s red hair strikingly resembles that of his cousin, Prince Archie.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s son, who recently turned five, shares the same fiery locks as two-year-old August—just like cousins Eugenie and Harry. This isn’t the first time Princess Eugenie’s son has been compared to his royal cousins, Archie and Lilibet.
In a video shared to mark his second birthday, royal fans quickly noted the similarities between the royal tot and the Sussex family.
“Looks like Harry’s son Archie,” one follower commented. “He looks like Archie!!!!” another agreed.
Meanwhile, other social media users think that little August and Harry and Meghan’s daughter, Lilibet, also share similarities.
“His cousin Lilibet looks like him!” one said. Another added: “He could be Lilibet’s twin.”
