Princess Eugenie has paid
tribute to her grandmother the Queen, revealing what she wants her
15-month-old son August to inherit from the monarch.
Writing in The
Spectator ahead of the Platinum Jubilee weekend, Eugenie said:
“I think of my grannie and what she has stood for, for so many people and
for our family during these 70 years.
“I’d love Augie to have
her patience, her calmness and her kindness, while always being able to laugh
at himself and keep a twinkle in his eye.”
Eugenie added: “Seventy
years is really quite something, isn’t it? The Jubilee stands as a testimony to
a woman who has transcended time and has been that constant rock for so many
when the world can feel so fragile.”
Eugenie and her husband Jack
Brooksbank welcomed their son in August in February 2021. Prince Andrew and
Sarah, Duchess of York’s younger daughter shares a close bond with her
grandmother and late grandfather Prince Philip. She even paid tribute to her
granddad by naming her son August Philip Hawke Brooksbank.
It’s an exciting time for the
young family, who live between Portugal and the UK. While Eugenie still
works for the art gallery Hauser & Wirth, her husband Jack is said to be
working in the sales, marketing and promotion team of the CostaTerra Golf and
Ocean Club on the Portuguese coast.
