Princess Eugenie shared a sweet new photo of her baby son August to Instagram on Sunday evening, in honour of Mother's Day.

The adorable image showed the Princess kneeling down to pick up her son as he hugged her tightly and appeared to have been taken at the Van Gogh exhibition in London.

The royal captioned the images: "Happy Mother's Day to every mother out there." Her followers were clearly delighted by the photos, and rushed to the comment section to share their approval.

Princess Eugenie shared the sweet mother-son moment to Instagram

The 32-year-old made an exception for two special events, posting the earlier picture on Wednesday in honour of her own birthday.

Eugenie celebrated with a day out with her son and her husband, Jack Brooksbank. Her Instagram showed a beautiful image of the young family as they walked hand-in-hand through a park.

The snap showed the setting sun, which created the perfect backdrop as it shone through the trees.

Eugenie rocked a gorgeous floral dress and white trainers while her husband kept things casual yet stylish in a green hooded jumper, a pair of jeans and black Converse trainers.

His striped top peeked out from underneath his jumper, which appeared to match August's striped trousers – how cute! "What a birthday to celebrate in the park with my boys. Thank you Xx," the royal mum captioned the photo.

Fans complimented the picture, writing: "Happy birthday, this is such a sweet photo" and: "Beautiful picture for your birthday. God bless you and your family."
