“4 today. And what an amazing 4 years. 

“You are so incredibly focused and inquisitive and full of adventure and speed. 

“Can't wait for all our adventures...so many more to come. 

“I love you my boy, my angel.”

Augie, short for August Philip Hawk Brooksbank, is the Princess’s eldest son and the thirteenth in line for the throne

He was named after his great-grandfather Prince Phillip and two of his five-times great-grandfathers: Reverend Edward Hawke Brooksbank, and Prince Albert.

Eugenie welcomed Augie in 2021 via caesarean, as the princess had surgery at the age of 12 to correct scoliosis.

Augie’s father James Brookbank is a marketing executive who started dating Eugenie in 2011. 

They tied the knot on October 12, 2018, though he was not elevated to the peerage after marrying into the royal family. 

Eugenie’s adorable family post included several snaps of Augie with his dad and even some pictures with his younger brother Ernest George Ronnie Brooksbank.

The post comes just weeks after Eugenie’s sister Princess Beatrice welcomed her second daughter
