A beaming Princess Eugenie had a huge smile as she was seen for the first time since announcing she was expecting her second child.
The 32-year-old confirmed earlier this week that she was pregnant and would be welcoming a new arrival with her husband Jack Brooksbank later this summer.
And pictures show her on her first outing since announcing the happy news leaving the trendy London restaurant Chiltern Firehouse.
Eugenie, a niece of King Charles, wore a black floral dress with black heeled boots and wrapped up with an oversized camel coat.
She was pictured smiling as she left the venue with her mum Sarah Ferguson just hours after announcing she is expecting.
Eugenie and husband Jack are already parents to their young son August, who turns two next month.
And as well as announcing their happy news via a statement from Buckingham Palace, Eugenie also took to her own personal Instagram page - and shared a photo of August kissing her bump.
In the photograph, taken by Jack, Eugenie, dressed in a woolly hat, beams as August, in a burgundy winter hat, matching trousers and wellies, embraces her and kisses her bump, as they stand next to a fence in a leaf-strewn field.
Eugenie wrote: "We're so excited to share that there will be a new addition to our family this summer."
The baby will be born 13th in line to the throne and will be a third grandchild for Eugenie's parents Prince Andrew and Sarah.
Sarah also took to Instagram to celebrate the happy news by sharing a picture of August playing in a puddle with the caption: "You will be sharing puddles, Augie! Superb news, Granny heaven…. So deeply grateful."
As well as August, Andrew and Sarah are also grandparents to Princess Beatrice's young daughter Sienna, who was born in September 2021.
The happy news has brought joy to the Windsors in the wake of the late Queen's death and amid difficult times following the publication of Prince Harry's controversial tell-all memoir. He or she will be the first of the Queen’s great-grandchildren to be born since her death.
They baby will also arrive in King Charles, Eugenie's uncle's, coronation year, with the ceremony taking place on May 6.
Eugenie's first born August Philip Hawke Brooksbank arrived at the exclusive Portland Hospital in central London on February 9, 2021.
He made an appearance at the Platinum Jubilee pageant celebrations last year wearing a union flag jumper as Eugenie bounced him up and down on her knee as they sat in the royal box.
