The new family of three have taken up residence in Prince Harry and Meghan’s former home of Frogmore Cottage. The house is a short distance from Queen Elizabeth and Philip in the grounds of Windsor Castle.
At the time of their son’s birth, the couple introduced him in an Instagram post, writing: “We wanted to introduce you to August Philip Hawke Brooksbank.
“Thank you for so many wonderful messages. Our hearts are full of love for this little human, words can’t express.
“Thank you to the wonderful essential workers including our midwife who came to discharge our boy.”
Eugenie is the daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson and the granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip.
