Another royal baby has arrived!

Princess Eugenie, the granddaughter of the late Queen Elizabeth II and niece of King Charles II, officially welcomed her son with her husband, Jack Brooksbank, on May 30. Buckingham Palace shared the happy news on June 5.

“Princess Eugenie and Mr Jack Brooksbank are delighted to announce the safe arrival of their son, Ernest George Ronnie Brooksbank. Ernest was born on Tuesday, 30th May, and weighed 7lbs 1oz,” the statement said.

The princess took to Instagram to share an intimate photo of her dozing little boy and the details behind his name. “He is named after his great great great Grandfather George, his Grandpa George and my Grandpa Ronald,” she wrote. “Augie is loving being a big brother already.”

The princess and her husband first announced the happy news on January 24. The happy mom revealed her pregnancy with a photo of her son, August, hugging her growing bump on Instagram. “We’re so excited to share that there will be a new addition to our family this summer,” she wrote.

Princess Eugenie’s mother, Sarah Ferguson, rushed to the comments to share that she was in “Granny Heaven.” Ferguson shared a photo of her grandchild August playing in puddles to her own page with the caption, “You will be sharing puddles, Augie! Superb news, Granny heaven…. So deeply grateful.”

Eugenie’s new addition is King Charles II’s great-nephew and will be 13th in line for the throne, following behind Prince Edward and his children and Princess Anne and her children and grandchildren and his big brother August. The princess and her husband welcomed their son August Phillip Hawke Brooksbank, in February 2021. The couple wed at St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle in October 2018.

Our best to the princess on her first few days with her new addition.
