Ernest has arrived in the King's coronation year, just weeks after the ceremony.
Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank's newborn is 13th in line to the throne.

In recent weeks the 33-year-old was spotted holding her rounded belly as she chatted to Royal Family fans at the Coronation Big Lunch.
She was seen with her sister Princess Beatrice as they mingled at Chalfont St Giles, in Buckinghamshire.
The day prior, at King Charles' Coronation, Eugenie was spotted laughing away with her cousin Prince Harry.
Harry, the princess and Jack had been sat in the third royal row inside Westminster Abbey.
On Mother's Day she shared yet another sweet snap of her walking along holding August's hand.
The mother and son duo had grins ear-to-ear as they strolled across a frosty field on a glorious winter's day.
August Philip Hawke Brooksbank was born February 9, 2021, at the Portland Hospital in London.
He was delivered by caesarean section due to the Princess's childhood scoliosis operation on her spine.
Meanwhile, Eugenie recently revealed how becoming a mother had changed her.
Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos the Princess said she is changing her behaviour at home to educate her son, August, on the importance of protecting the environment.
She said the family had ditched plastic at home, but revealed being a mother changed her.
