    Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank have announced the birth of their second child, welcoming a baby boy on 30th May 2023. 

    The new arrival is named Ernest George Ronnie Brooksbank, which the 32-year-old Princess explained is a sweet nod to relatives on both Eugenie and Jack's sides of the family.

    The royal couple, who already share two-year-old August, announced the news today in the most millennial way - an Instagram post, which unsurprisingly has since gone viral, raking in over 250,000 likes already.

    "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," the royal couple announced in the Instagram post.

    Going on to elaborate on their new arrival's name, the post continued: "He is named after his great great great Grandfather George, his Grandpa George and my Grandpa Ronald."
