Princess Eugenie celebrated her
son August‘s first birthday on Wednesday, with
the royal mum sharing two previously unseen photos of the tot. And that’s not
all, she also revealed her adorable nickname for her little boy.
The cute family snaps appeared to show 31-year-old Eugenie and her
husband, Jack Brooksbank, with August on their
recent skiing holiday, as well as a shot of their little one at a baby group
with a name sticker on his back.
“Happy 1st Birthday to our little hero Augie. You are such a
special soul that brightens every room with your smile and wave. You have made
us so very proud. We love you!” the proud mum wrote in the caption,
alongside a string of blue heart emojis.
Eugenie and Jack welcomed their son at the Portland Hospital in London
on 9 February, sharing his full name as August Philip Hawke Brooksbank 11 days
later.
The tot, who is 13th in line to the throne, was named after his
great-grandfather, Prince Philip and two of his five-times great-grandfathers,
Reverend Edward Hawke Brooksbank and Prince Albert, whose given names included
Augustus.

Many of the royals have nicknames, with Princess
Eugenie known as “Euge” to her family members. She also calls her
older sister Princess Beatrice “Bea”.
Meanwhile, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge call their daughter Princess Charlotte “Lottie,” while the Duke
and Duchess of Sussex refer to their
children Archie and Lilibet as “Arch” and “Lili”.
Lilibet was named after her great-grandmother, the Queen‘s own family nickname, and the monarch is also known
as “Gan Gan” to her great-grandchildren.
