"Thank you for so many wonderful messages," Eugenie wrote alongside photos of herself, Brooksbank, and baby August. "Our hearts are full of love for this little human, words can't express. We are excited to be able to share these photos with you.⁣" This news a little over a week after Buckingham Palace announced that Eugenie, the daughter of Prince Andrew, The Duke of York, and Sarah Ferguson, The Duchess of York, gave birth to her first child with Brooksbank, whom she wed in October 2018.

"Her Royal Highness Princess Eugenie was safely delivered of a son today, 9th February 2021, at 0855hrs at The Portland Hospital. Jack Brooksbank was present. The baby weighs 8lbs 1oz," Buckingham Palace's statement read. "The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh, The Duke of York, Sarah, Duchess of York, and Mr and Mrs George Brooksbank have been informed and are delighted with the news. This is Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank's first child, The Duke of York and Sarah, Duchess of York's first grandchild, and the ninth great-grandchild for The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh. Her Royal Highness and her child are both doing well." Eugenie first announced that she was expecting back in September 2020. At the time, she shared a photo to Instagram of a tiny pair of teddy bear slippers, which she captioned with a baby emoji and "Jack and I are so excited for early 2021," in reference to when they were expecting their little one to arrive.
