Princess Eugenie Stuns In Green For First Red Carpet Since Welcoming Baby No.2

Princess Eugenie, is finally out and about in grandeur months following the birth of her second child, Ernest George Brooksbank.

The 33-year-old royal welcomed the infant on May 30 with her husband of nearly eight years, Jack Brooksbank. They also share another boy, August Philip Hawke Brooksbank, born in February 2021.

Only four months have passed since the younger daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah' Fergie' Ferguson welcomed her second son. However, she stepped out in style for her first red carpet appearance, looking as breathtaking as ever at a London event. 

The British royalty hit the red carpet on Thursday, September 14, at Vogue World: London 2023 at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane in London. She graced the event alone, wearing a satin teal Fendi gown with glittery shoes. Her elder sister, Princess Beatrice, also made an appearance separately with her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi. 

Beatrice was dressed in a black and yellow floral cape dress by Richard Quinn, which she paired with black gloves and heels, while her companion rocked a tux with a white jacket. The Vogue World event, marking its second annual edition, opened London Fashion Week and was summed up as an "ode to Britain's rich culture" by the brand in a statement.

Not only was the event Princess Eugenie's first red carpet since birthing her second baby, but it also marked her first major public appearance after childbirth. Her last major public outing was King Charles' coronation on May 6, as well as the related festivities for the crowning, including a Coronation Lunch in Chalfont St. Giles and the Coronation Concert at Windsor Castle.

Shortly after little Ernest's birth, the mother-of-two supported her mother, Fergie, amid her breast cancer diagnosis.  The older royal successfully underwent a single mastectomy and was visited by Eugenie and Beatrice as she rested at Royal Lodge. Per a source, "Her daughters have been there a lot; they have been very supportive."  

News of Eugenie's second pregnancy made rounds in January when she announced on Instagram using a sweet outdoor image of her first son, August, snuggling into her tummy. She was also beaming in the photo, which she captioned, "We're so excited to share that there will be a new addition to our family this summer," and credited her husband Jack as the photographer.

Fans were thrilled to hear of the Newcastle University alum's second pregnancy, including her mom, who wasted no time expressing so in the comments section.

Fergie exclaimed, "Granny heaven ❤️" before extending her delight to her Instagram feed, where she dropped a snap of August in a yellow raincoat and wading in puddles.  "You will be sharing puddles, Augie!" the renowned author gushed. "Superb news, Granny heaven…. So deeply grateful."

The pregnancy update came two years after Her Royal Highness welcomed baby Augie, whom she introduced to the world using black and white photos alongside a note revealing his full name.

"In the announcement, we wanted to introduce you to August Philip Hawke Brooksbank.. 💙💙💙," she penned. "Thank you for so many wonderful messages. Our hearts are full of love for this little human; words can't express."  Eugenie further expressed excitement to share the photographs with the world, after which she acknowledged her "wonderful midwife" for taking the amazing shots.

About a week after welcoming baby Ernest, Princess Eugenie publicized the news on her Instagram using two shots and a detailed caption revealing the inspiration behind his name.

The philanthropist began, "Jack and I wanted to share the news that we had our little boy, Ernest George Ronnie Brooksbank, on 30th May, 2023, at 8.49, weighing 7.1lbs." 

She then wrote that Ernest was named after his great-great-great grandad George, his grandfather George, and her grandpa Ronald. At the end of the note, she gushed about her firstborn, August, treasuring his role as a big brother, which fans witnessed in her second uploaded picture, showing the child stroking his little brother's head. 

Ernest’s middle names, "George" and "Ronnie," paid homage to Queen Elizabeth’s late grandfather King George V, Jack’s father, George, and her mother’s father, Ronald. Eugenie's second son placed him as 13th in the line of succession to the British throne, following his big brother August.

Also, the newborn was the first of Queen Elizabeth’s great-grandchildren to arrive after her death in September 2022.
