- Princess Eugenie announced on Monday that she gave birth to her second son on May 30.
- Ernest George Ronnie Brooksbank is her second child with husband Jack Brooksbank.
Princess Eugenie gave birth to her second son with husband Jack Brooksbank on May 30, she revealed in an Instagram post on Monday.
"Jack and I wanted to share the news that we had our little boy, Ernest George Ronnie Brooksbank on 30th May 2023 at 8.49 weighing 7.1lbs," Eugenie, 33, wrote in the Instagram post.
She shared a photo of the newborn wearing a knitted blue-and-white hat, as well as an image of her oldest son, 2-year-old Augie, touching his baby brother on the head.
"Augie is loving being a big brother already," she wrote.
The baby's name honors Eugenie's late grandfather and Brooksbank's late father
"He is named after his great great great Grandfather George, his Grandpa George and my Grandpa Ronald," Eugenie wrote in her post.
Ronald was the father of the Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson. He died in 2003, at the age of 71. Jack Brooksbank's father, George, died at the age of 72 in 2021, days before Augie was christened.
Ernest is 13th in line to the throne, behind his big brother.
Princess Eugenie, who is the daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, met her now-husband Jack Brooksbank while skiing in Switzerland in 2010, and they got married at Windsor Castle in 2018. Their first son, August Philip Hawke Brooksbank — Augie for short — was born in February 2021.
The couple attended King Charles III's coronation in May alongside Prince Harry.
