Princess Eugenie names son after grandfather Prince Philip

Princess Eugenie revealed the name of her newborn son on Saturday – and includes a sweet nod to her grandfather, Prince Philip.

Eugenie shared the name, August Philip Hawke Brooksbank, with his 1.3 million followers on Instagram.

August, born on February 9, is the first child of the princess and husband Jack Brooksbank, who married in 2018.

The tribute comes when Philip, also known as the Duke of Edinburgh, spends a few days resting in the hospital after falling ill on Tuesday night.

“Thank you for so many wonderful messages. Our hearts are full of love for this little human, words cannot express ”, Eugenie, 30, posted. “We are excited to be able to share these photos with you.⁣”

Photos accompanying the news of the name show the couple holding August, who is wearing a blue hat and wrapped in a matching blanket.

In his caption, Eugenie also revealed that August was delivered by a midwife, who took pictures of the new family.

“Thanks to the wonderful essential workers, including our midwife who came to discharge our son,” wrote Eugenie.

Eugenie is the youngest daughter of Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew in disgrace, and the third youngest of Philip and the Queen’s eight grandchildren.
