Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank are currently in a newborn baby bubble with their little boy, Ernest, who arrived on 30 May.
The couple are also parents to two-year-old August, and this weekend, the family of four will mark a new milestone.
Proud dad Jack will celebrate his first Father’s Day as a dad-of-two, and no doubt Eugenie will take to Instagram to praise her husband of nearly five years.
Eugenie announced her second baby’s arrival with some adorable Instagram snaps six days after his birth.
The first shot showed little Ernest snuggled up in a Moses basket, while the second photo showed proud big brother August peering into the cot and gently stroking his baby sibling’s head.
Eugenie’s Instagram caption read: “Jack and I wanted to share the news that we had our little boy, Ernest George Ronnie Brooksbank on 30th May 2023 at 8.49 weighing 7.1lbs.
“He is named after his great great great Grandfather George, his Grandpa George and my Grandpa Ronald. Augie is loving being a big brother already.”
Ernest’s great-great-great grandfather was King George V who also had Ernest as a middle name – with his full name being George Frederick Ernest Albert.
The baby’s middle name is also a touching tribute to Jack’s father George who passed away in 2021.
Ronnie is a nod to Sarah, Duchess of York’s father, the former royal polo manager Major Ronald Ferguson, who died in 2003. Sarah revealed she was moved to tears by Eugenie and Jack’s gesture after they revealed their newborn’s name.
Speaking about her new grandchild for the first time on her Tea Talks podcast, the 63-year-old grandmother said: “When Jack and Eugenie told me, it was so moving that they had put my dad in there. It was so kind, I thought. It made me cry.”
Sarah, who is known to her now-three grandchildren as GG, said: “He’s a very, very seriously beautiful little boy. Of course, everybody says that. Of course, he is. Doting granny – doting GG. He’s done very, very well.”
