Eugenie, the youngest daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, will likely celebrate the occasion with her husband Jack Brooksbank and their six-week-old son August.  

Prince Andrew no longer has official social media channels after stepping back from royal duties. 

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. 

The Royal Family Instagram account shared a photo of Eugenie at Royal Ascot in 2019 alongside the caption: 'Wishing Princess Eugenie a very happy birthday today!'

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.’

Princess Eugenie also shared a photo of her son to mark Mother’s Day earlier this month, although his face was turned away from the camera.
