Fans are ecstatic about Princess Eugenie’s Instagram pic

As Hello! points out, in posting the picture of her little one over her own, personal social media account, Princess Eugenie broke a tradition of sorts. We’re usually introduced to new members of the British royal family via a photo-op outside the hospital. But Princess Eugenie and her husband chose symmetry over tradition. (Royal followers will remember that they announced their pregnancy over Instagram, as well). From the far reaches of the internet, royal followers are gushing over Princess Eugenie’s baby pic, sending congratulations, blessings, and heart emojis. For a time, it seems, royal gossip has been replaced with “oh my goodness,” “ahhs,” “so precious,” and “wows.”

Twitter has also succumbed to royal baby fever, as royal reporters from far and wide spread the happy news. The Royal Family’s official Twitter announcement has racked in over 30,000 likes, at the time of this writing. The Daily Mail’s royal editor, Rebecca English took the opportunity to give us a history lesson: Princess Eugenie gave birth to her son in the very same hospital she was born in. But while social media fawns over this newest, royal baby pic, others within the royal family must see the news as a call to action. We’re talking about William and Kate. According to US Weekly, the Prince and Duchess of Cambridge are reportedly now trying for their fourth child, to the delight of Queen Elizabeth, who couldn’t be happier about her coterie of grandchildren.

Princess Eugenie Shares Exciting Family News

The world just got a little more royal. Buckingham Palace just announced Princess Eugenie, daughter of Prince Andrew, is the mother of a baby boy with her husband Jack Brooksbank. The official palace statement reads: “Her Royal Highness Princess Eugenie was safely delivered of a son today, 9th February 2021, at 0855hrs at The Portland Hospital. Jack Brooksbank was present. The baby weighs 8lbs 1oz. The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh, The Duke of York, Sarah, Duchess of York, and Mr and Mrs George Brooksbank have been informed and are delighted with the news.”

The palace went on to say that both mother and baby are “doing well,” but the princess’ Instagram followers already knew that. In true 21st-century style, the new mom posted a heartwarming picture on her Instagram account just a few hours after giving birth. The black-and-white shot shows her and Brooksbank’s hands tenderly holding their son’s tiny fingers. Her caption said it all: three blue hearts and an exclamation point. The littlest royal is the ninth great-grandchild of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, and the first grandchild for Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson. But despite his noble lineage, there’s little to no chance that he’ll ever become king. Princess Eugenie is currently tenth in line to the throne, which will make her son the 11th. However, their positions will be shifted far lower once Prince William’s children (to date: George, Charlotte, and Louis) grow up and have kids of their own, with Prince George’s offspring taking priority.
