The youngest daughter of Prince Andrew and the Duchess of York took to Instagram to announce the birth of Ernest George Ronnie Brooksbank on 30th May 2023.

Another commented: ‘Congratulations to Eugenie and Jack on the birth of her son Ernest. Is it just me or does the photo of Eugenie’s son August look identical to the photo we have been getting shown of Archie?’

However both she and her sister, Princess Beatrice, did attend events to mark the king’s coronation and were guests of honour at street party in Windsor.
