Princess Eugenie shares adorable photos of her one-month-old son and says he’s the ‘best present I could ask for’
PRINCESS Eugenie has shared new photos of her one-month-old son as she thanked well-wishers for their birthday messages.
Sharing the images with baby August - born in February - and husband Jack Brooksbank, the Queen's grand-daughter said she got the "best present I could ask for".
In the first image shared on her Instagram account, the couple were posed by a tree, with Eugenie who turned 31 on Tuesday cradling the baby boy, who was wearing a cardigan embroidered with his name.
A second picture shows the youngster with his eyes open on his father's shoulder.
The caption accompanying both of the images read: "Thank you for the birthday love yesterday.
"I got the best present I could ask for!";
On Mother's Day earlier this month, Eugenie revealed another image of baby August, who was pictured lying on a blanket amid the daffodils.
"I'm so excited to be August's mum and as you can see I'm enjoying my first Mother's Day," she wrote.
Eugenie, daughter of the duchess and the Duke of York, is the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh's granddaughter and Princess Beatrice's younger sister.
Eugenie and Jack shared their first family pic last month, revealing their baby's name.
It is a touching tribute to the Duke of Edinburgh and Queen Victoria's husband Albert, who both share names with the tot.
Alongside the snap, Eugenie wrote on Instagram: "We wanted to introduce you to August Philip Hawke Brooksbank.
"Thank you for so many wonderful messages.
"Our hearts are full of love for this little human, words can't express."
The photos were taken by their "wonderful" midwife, the couple said.
They added: "Thank you to the wonderful essential workers including our midwife who came to discharge our boy."
Meanwhile Zara Tindall has given birth to her third child - a baby boy named Lucas Philip Tindall - also in a nod to the Prince Philip.
Husband Mike confirmed the happy news on his podcast - and revealed the Queen's "warrior" granddaughter gave birth on the bathroom floor on Sunday.
Mike, 42, previously said he wants a boy as he has two daughters with 39-year-old , six-year-old Mia Grace and two-year-old Lena Elizabeth.
