Princess Eugenie shared a never-before-seen image featuring her two sons, August and Ernest, in honor of her birthday on Sunday.
The heartwarming photo, posted on Instagram, captures the mother-of-two beaming with joy as she enjoys a peaceful outdoor moment with her boys. Eugenie is seen sitting at a wooden picnic table facing the camera, while August and Ernest, with their backs to the lens, can be seen happily munching on plates of food.
For their family gathering, August sported a navy hoodie with sunny yellow stripes, paired with blue jeans and Spider-Man socks. Ernest looked equally adorable in a light blue Mini Rodini outfit adorned with playful animal prints.
Eugenie exuded elegance in baggy jeans and a pinstripe utilitarian shirt from Michael Kors, which featured large front pockets. She styled her chocolate-brown hair in a bun and adorned herself with a single pendant necklace.
“Birthday besties…” she affectionately captioned the post.
Friends and royal fans quickly filled the comments section with warm messages. One person remarked, “Gosh, your youngest looks so much like you even from the side,” while another wished her a “Happy Birthday! Have a wonderful day.” A third comment read, “Happy birthday. Such a lovely photo with your boys.”
Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, welcomed August and Ernest after tying the knot in a fairy-tale wedding in 2018.
Motherhood has profoundly influenced Eugenie, motivating her to “do more” to protect her children’s future.
In an interview, prior to the birth of her second child, she shared: “Since August came into my life, it’s positively impacted my desire to do more. Priorities shift when you have children; you want to do everything you can for them—and for your grandchildren. August is [still young], but I hope that what I’m doing will resonate with him, and that one day he will carry it on, too.”
The family of four splits their time between London and sunny Portugal, where Jack is currently busy with work obligations. Reflecting on their life abroad, Eugenie mentioned during the Table Manners podcast, “This is why Portugal is a dream because I can go to the supermarket in my workout clothes and with my hair in a messy bun without a care. No one cares.”
