SPECIAL BOND

Prince Andrew's daughter is known to have a particularly close relationship with both of her grandparents. Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank even paid tribute to Prince Philip when naming their firstborn.

Ferguson and her ex-husband Prince Andrew still reside together at the Royal Lodge in Windsor despite being divorced.

The first-time parents decided to name their son August Philip Hawke Brooksbank, which is a special nod to his 99-year-old great-grandfather Prince Philip.

KEEPING TRADITION ALIVE

31-year-old Princess Eugenie and her husband enjoy keeping the traditions of the royal family alive. Just as Princess Eugenie was born in Portland Hospital in 1990, she delivered her son there 30 years later.

August was born on February 9, 2021, and the couple announced his name a few weeks later. The royal took to her Instagram page to share the little one's name and where it comes from, saying:

"We are introducing our little boy. He is named after his great grandfather and both of his great x5 grandfathers."

Ferguson and her ex-husband Prince Andrew still reside together at the Royal Lodge in Windsor despite being divorced. This allows the Duchess of York easy access to her daughter and grandson who live at Frogmore Cottage.

Princess Eugenie and Brooksbank moved into Frogmore Cottage when Meghan Markle and Prince Harry agreed to lend the royal couple their Windsor residence whilst they live abroad.
