Princess Eugenie has spoken about the joy that her first born son August has brought her, as she thanked one royal fan for their well wishes. 

In a letter that was sent out before the sad passing of the Duke of Edinburgh on Friday, Eugenie enclosed a copy of one of the very first photos of August, wrapped up in a blue blanket and sound asleep in his dad Jack Brooksbank's arms.

The Princess' handwritten letter to Gert's Royals read: "Thank you so much for thinking of us and celebrating the birth of our beautiful baby boy, August. 

"Words can't express the joy and love we feel. With our very best, Eugenie and Jack."

Eugenie and Jack welcomed their son on 9 February at the Portland Hospital in London. 

The couple confirmed his full name as August Philip Hawke Brooksbank 11 days after his birth, paying a touching tribute to his late great-grandfather, Prince Philip, who passed away aged 99 on 9 April. 

Eugenie later shared an adorable new photo of her son on Instagram to mark her very first Mother's Day on 14 March. The tot, dressed in a cardigan and whale-printed leggings, was surrounded by daffodils in the royal's garden.
