Princess Eugenie shares video of baby August for the first time

Princess Eugenie shared an adorable video of her four-month-old son, August, on Tuesday to commemorate World Oceans Day.

The British royal filmed the baby boy playing with a stuffed shark, while noting in her Instagram Story the importance of the annual event, which was designated by the United Nations in 2008.

“It’s World Oceans Day today. A day to celebrate our magnificent oceans and all the creatures in it,” Eugenie, 31, wrote. “A day to raise awareness for something so integral to all our lives.”

And, in August’s case, “A day to snuggle with fluffy sharks,” she said.

This is the first video of the Queen’s ninth great-grandchild.

Eugenie, the younger daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, welcomed her first child with husband Jack Brooksbank in February.

Eugenie, who is 11th in line to the British throne, included a sweet nod to her grandfather, the late Prince Philip, in her son’s full name: August Philip Hawke Brooksbank.

Eugenie married Brooksbank, 35, in October 2018.

The sweet video of August comes days after Eugenie congratulated her cousin Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, on the birth of their second child, daughter Lilibet “Lili” Diana.

“Congratulations dear cousins … we couldn’t be happier for you all,” Eugenie posted to her Instagram Story.

Meghan gave birth on Friday at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in California. Lilibet Diana is named after her great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth, whose family nickname is Lilibet, and her grandmother, the late Princess Diana.

In addition to baby Lili, the royal family will expand once again in a few months when Eugenie’s older sister, Princess Beatrice, is due to give birth to her first child.

Beatrice, 32, and husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi confirmed in May that a baby is on the way. The couple raised eyebrows when they announced the news on the same day of Harry and Meghan’s third wedding anniversary.
