Princess Eugenie shares rare photo of son August as she celebrates her birthday

Princess Eugenie is marking her 32nd birthday today - and to celebrate the day she has shared a rare family snap showing her baby son August.

Eugenie posted the adorable image on her Instagram page to thank those who had sent her birthday wishes.

The cute photo shows Eugenie and husband Jack Brooksbank walking with one-year-old son August through a park.

Little August holds on to both his parents' hands as he toddles across the pavement wearing sweet black and white striped trousers and an orange top.

Eugenie captioned the snap: "What a birthday to celebrate in the park with my boys. Thank you Xx", followed by a kiss emoji.

And royal fans were quick to comment on how much they loved the photo.

One wrote: "That’s such a beautiful photo."

Another added: "Very precious times. Enjoy. You will make wonderful memories which will stay with you forever."

While another said: "Beautiful photo! Happy Birthday, I’m glad you had a lovely day with your boys."

Little August was born last February and is 13th in line to the throne, with his great grandmother the Queen.

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."

Meanwhile, one member of the royal family who may have sent Eugenie a present today is her cousin Prince Harry.

She was the first royal to visit him in the US since he and wife Meghan Markle moved there with their children after quitting the Firm two years ago.

The royal pair were pictured together in the stands for the Super Bowl last month - although were without Meghan and Jack.

Not only is Eugenie the only royal to have met up with Harry in California, she could also be the only member of the family to have met his new baby daughter Lilibet.
