Princess Eugenie's 'unusual' name choice for baby son is actually tribute to mum Fergie

Princess Eugenie's choice of name is a touching tribute to her mum Sarah Ferguson, as she explained the meaning behind each of his names on Instagram. The young royal announced the birth of her second son Ernest George Ronnie on the social media platform on Monday, a little brother to her and husband Jack Brooksbank's two-year-old son August. In the post Eugenie shared two pictures of baby Ernest, one of him sleeping in his moses basket while wearing a knitted blue and white hat and another showing big brother August sweetly stroking his head.

Augie is loving being a big brother already." Ernest's great-great-great grandfather George is George V, the grandfather of the late Queen, who was on the throne from May 1910 until his death in December 1936, and had Ernest as one of his middle names. His first middle name George is tenderly for Jack's late father and the baby's grandfather George Brooksbank, who sadly died in November 2021 at the age of 72 following a long battle with Covid.

Baby Ernest, a third grandchild to Fergie and Prince Andrew and a second nephew for Princess Beatrice, is 13th in line to the British throne. His arrival bumps Prince Edward down to 14th and Princess Anne down to 17th, although she was third in line at the time of her birth.
