Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank have named their son August Philip Hawke Brooksbank.

Buckingham Palace has released an image of the couple with their baby boy, who was born at the exclusive Portland Hospital in central London at 8.55am on 9 February.

In the picture, the child – the Queen’s ninth great-grandchild – is wrapped in blue while being held by his father and clutching his mother’s finger.

The new arrival was 11th in line to the throne when he was born, but following the news that the Duchess of Sussex is expecting a second child, he will move to 12th place when the baby arrives.

Choosing Philip as a middle name pays tribute to the duke, who remains at King Edward VII’s hospital, having been admitted on Tuesday evening after feeling unwell.

Before revealing his name on Saturday, Eugenie had announced her son’s birth with a simple black and white picture of one of his hands on Instagram.

The Queen and Philip said they were “delighted” following the baby’s birth, as did Eugenie’s parents the Duke of York and Sarah, Duchess of York, and Jack’s parents Mr and Mrs George Brooksbank.

August is a regular Master Brooksbank even though his mother is a princess.

Eugenie, 30, announced her pregnancy in September, almost two years after she and Mr Brooksbank were married in a ceremony at St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle, in front of royal and celebrity guests in October 2018.

Mr Brooksbank is European brand director of Casamigos Tequila, co-founded by the actor George Clooney, while Eugenie is a director at the contemporary art gallery Hauser & Wirth in London.
