The 61-year-old mother of princesses Beatrice, 32, and Eugenie, 30, welcomed her first grandchild, August Philip Hawke Brooksbank, into the world on February 9. First-time mum Eugenie and husband Jack Brooksbank, 35, shared his name on Saturday.

Buckingham Palace released an image of the family-of-three.

Baby news is a prominent topic among royal fans at present as Prince Harry, 36, and wife Meghan Markle, 39, revealed on Valentine’s Day they are expecting a second child.

In December, Mike Tindall, 42, revealed that his wife Zara, 39, is pregnant with their third child.

Speaking on Fergie & Friends, her Youtube channel, the Duchess of York called for compassion for all, with reference to the latest family member.

She said: “I believe everyone deserves respect and kindness, whether you’re just born, like my grandson, or whether it’s when you’re 110.

“Everyone is wise and everyone deserves respect and kindness and a smile.

“Says so much but costs very little.”

In a statement released on Saturday, the duchess said:”As grandparents, The Duke and I are thrilled and blessed at the arrival of our grandson August Philip Hawke Brooksbank.
