The couple's first child was born earlier in
February, and his name includes an apparent nod to the queen's
99-year-old husband Prince Philip, who is in hospital on a
precautionary basis after feeling ill earlier this week.
"Princess Eugenie and Mr Jack Brooksbank have announced that
they have named their son August Philip Hawke Brooksbank,"
Buckingham Palace said on Twitter, sharing a picture of the
couple holding the baby.
"The couple have been touched by the well wishes they have
received on the birth of their first child."
The baby is the ninth great-grandchild for the 94-year-old
queen.
Eugenie is the younger daughter of the queen's third child
Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of
York. She is 10th in line to the British throne.
