Marking her 34th birthday in March, the princess shared a photo showing Eugenie lifting Ernest into the air in a post captioned: “The best gift of all are my boys… so on this birthday I'm cherishing family and loved ones.”
Sarah Ferguson, Ernest and August’s grandmother, spoke about her grandchild Ernie in her podcast Tea Talks with The Duchess and Sarah last year.
She said: “He's a very, very seriously beautiful little boy. And of course everybody says that, but of course he is.
“I was really touched when Jack and Eugenie told me [about the name]. It was so moving that they'd put my dad in there, it was very kind I thought.
“It made me cry, of course… I'd popped into a children's shop and bought some little blue booties and that's when she told me.”
