Princess Eugenie has revealed her baby son’s name and also shared a first look at his “beautiful” face.
Earlier today (February 20), Eugenie posted a trio of pictures of the tot on her Instagram account.
In the pictures, taken by her midwife, Eugenie‘s husband Jack Brooksbank is seen holding the baby.
He is swaddled in a blue blanket as his doting mum looks on.

She added the pictures were taken by “our wonderful midwife” – presumably because no one else is able to visit because of lockdown.
Huge congratulations to both of you! A perfect name that honours his great grandpa!
The couple also shared thanks for the rest of the team who looked after the new family.
Eugenie added: “Thank you to the wonderful essential workers including our midwife who came to discharge our boy.”
The official royal family Instagram account added: “The couple have been touched by the well wishes they have received on the birth of their first child, and are delighted to share this first photograph as a family.”
So who did Eugenie name the baby after?
In a clear nod to grandfather Prince Philip, who is currently in hospital, baby August has been given Philip as a middle name.
“Huge congratulations to both of you! A perfect name that honours his great grandpa!” said one fan on Instagram.

Others commented on the tot’s unusual first name.
“August is such a sweet name,” said one.
Another added: “Little August Philip is beautiful.”
Eugenie is ‘doing really well’
The baby name news come after it was claimed Princess Eugenie had a caesarian birth with her son.
She was said to be “doing really well” after giving birth to her baby boy “via C-section due to her previous spinal surgery for scoliosis”.
Due to the COVID lockdown, her parents Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson have yet to meet their first grandchild.
