Prince Andrew no longer has official social media channels after stepping back from royal duties. Sarah Ferguson, who is active on Instagram and YouTube, has yet to share a public tribute to her daughter but is no doubt celebrating quietly. 

Eugenie’s sister Princess Beatrice, 32, who is married to Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, does not have a public Instagram account. 

It marks Princess Eugenie’s first birthday as a mother. 

Princess Eugenie welcomed her first child, who is 11th in line to the throne, with husband Jack Brooksbank on February 9 at London’s Portland Hospital. 

The couple were pictured leaving the hospital three days later on February 12. 

They revealed the name of their son – the Queen’s ninth great grandchild – shortly afterwards alongside a family photo taken in their garden.

Posting a series of photographs on Instagram, the Queen’s granddaughter wrote: ‘Thank you for so many wonderful messages. Our hearts are full of love for this little human, words can’t express. We are excited to be able to share these photos with you.⁣’ 

Eugenie went on to reveal the name was a touching tribute to Queen Victoria’s Husband Prince Albert, whose birth name was Franz Albert August Karl Emanuel, and Prince Philip, writing: ‘On his grandfather’s birthday weekend, thinking of my grandfather, we are introducing our little boy. 

‘He is named after his great grandfather and both of his 5x great grandfathers.’
