Princess Eugenie Shares Rare Glimpse of Son Ernie on His Birthday—& a Hidden Detail Has Royal Fans Buzzing
It's not often the royals give us a glimpse into their personal lives, but for her son Ernest's birthday, Princess Eugenie gave us a sneak peek into the weekend's festivities, and fans are calling him her "mini-me."
The doting mom commemorated the birthday on Instagram with a set of adorable pictures featuring Ernest and his four-year-old brother August, alongside Eugenie's husband Jack Brooksbank, with the caption, "Happy Birthday, my darling Ernie. 2 today, and what an incredible two years it's been. Always smiling, always laughing, always giving hugs and hellos, and making everyone happy. My golden boy, we love you!" The comments were equally sweet and supportive, with commenters pointing out a hidden detail: how much the two look alike. "He is the image of you," wrote one fan. From what I can tell, he's your 'mini me,'" wrote another.
The pictures included Ernie walking the streets of London with his sunglasses upside down, the family spending time together on walks and Ernie and August playing together with their gardening toys. Princess Eugenie and Brooksbank welcomed Ernest into the family on May 30, 2023, and while he and his brother are largely expected to live a private life outside of the spotlight, he is currently 13th in line to the British throne.

In May, the Princess gave an exclusive interview to the Sunday Telegraph, where she spoke about the balance of work and motherhood. "I think I've got a good balance," she told the newspaper, describing Brooksbank as an "amazing husband." She also spoke a bit about giving her bit about giving her boys seeds and gardening tools to hone their outdoor skills, and doing art classes with them on weekends.
One thing is for sure: Princess Eugenie seems to enjoy motherhood.

He added that the fire brigade got to the scene moments after the heroic rescue. Mr Hussain added: "Luckily, that person was passing by, there was a ladder there because of nearby works we were having. "It started in the kitchen, it was a fryer that caught fire.

Everyone was saying, 'It'll go away!' But I can't trust that. What will go away? The fiction pawned around the f—ing globe? No, it won't.' Advertisement 'If I don't try to represent the truth it will be like I've actually committed the acts I am accused of, and my kids will have to live with it,' he continued. Depp added, 'So the night before the trial in Virginia I didn't feel nervous. If you don't have to memorize lines, if you're just speaking the truth? Roll the dice.'
