Princess Eugenie just announced the birth of her second baby in the most millennial way
Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank have announced the birth of their second child, welcoming a baby boy on 30th May 2023.
The new arrival is named Ernest George Ronnie Brooksbank, which the 32-year-old Princess explained is a sweet nod to relatives on both Eugenie and Jack's sides of the family.
The royal couple, who already share two-year-old August, announced the news today in the most millennial way - an Instagram post, which unsurprisingly has since gone viral, raking in over 250,000 likes already.
