Princess Eugenie reveals son August's cute nickname as she marks his first birthday

Princess Eugenie has revealed her son August's adorable nickname after sharing two sweet photos to mark his first birthday.

August turned one yesterday and Eugenie took to her Instagram account where she posted several snaps of her family.

In one, Eugenie holds August as they pose with her husband Jack Brooksbank and they look out over a snowy mountain while on a family skiing holiday together.

In the other, August can be seen playing on the floor alongside other children with a cute sticker on his back that has his name on it.

And in the caption accompanying the pictures, Eugenie calls her young son - Augie.

She wrote: "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!" She followed up with the three blue hearts.

When he was born, August was 11th in line to the throne, but the arrival of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's daughter Lilibet and his cousin Sienna Mapelli Mozzi has seen him now sit in 13th place.

He was christened last year in a rare royal double christening alongside Zara and Mike Tindall's young son Lucas.

August and Lucas both share the same middle name of Philip - a tribute to their great-grandfather Prince Philip who died last year shortly after the two boys were born.

In a documentary last year, Eugenie revealed August got to meet Philip shortly before his death in April.

Holding back the tears, Eugenie explained: "We named August, August Philip because grandpa has been such a huge, inspiring character in my life.

"I brought little August to come and meet him and told him that we had named him after him and it was such a lovely moment.

"We were very lucky to do that."
