Let’s all sing happy birthday to Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank's youngest son, Ernest, who just turned one year old.

Yesterday on Instagram, the 34-year-old princess posted a celebratory slideshow filled with never-before-seen photos of the birthday boy. One photo shows the toddler wearing a custom blue jersey with his name on it. 

Another shows baby Ernest playing in the grass with an Easter egg cutout in the background. But the most noteworthy would have to be the last snap, which shows Princess Eugenie and Brooksbanks’s oldest son, August aka “Augie,” 3, giving his baby brother a kiss on the head.

In the caption, the proud mom of two wrote, “One year of you my dear Ernest. Happy birthday!! We all love you so much, especially your enormous smile you give the world.. but you always save an extra special one for Mumma. Xxx [kissy face emoji].” 

Princess Eugenie’s followers flooded the comments section with happy birthday messages, with one royal fan writing, “Happy 1st birthday Ernest [cake emoji].” Meanwhile, one follower couldn’t help but notice the striking resemblance between Ernest and Prince Harry, writing, “He looks like a little Prince Harry.” You know what, I kinda see it…

These newly shared pics come a few months after the princess shared a brand-new photo of herself and baby Ernest in celebration of her 34th birthday. Back in March, Princess Eugenie shared a snap of herself holding her son Ernest, who she welcomed with her husband back in May 2023, on Instagram. 

She wrote in the caption, “The best gift of all are my boys..so on this birthday I'm cherishing family and loved ones [red heart emojis].”

Happy birthday, Ernest!
