Her Royal Highness Princess Eugenie, Mrs Jack Brooksbank, wife of Mr Jack Christopher Stamp Brooksbank, gave birth to a son, Ernest George Ronnie, on 30 May, 2023, at 8:49am.
The baby is named after his great-great-great grandfather, King George V, his grandfather the late George Brooksbank, and Eugenie's grandfather, the late Major Ronald Ferguson.
Ernest- a name often used in the days of the House of Hanover and in Victoria's reign, was the third Christian name of King George V (1865-1936), founder of the Royal House of Windsor, who was in full - George Frederick Ernest Albert. Queen Victoria's uncle, Prince Ernest Augustus, Duke of Cumberland (1771-1851), was later King of Hanover, and perhaps the least popular of Victoria's reprobate uncles. Queen Victoria's second son was Prince Alfred Ernest Albert (1844-1900), and later created Duke of Edinburgh.
The baby is the second child for the princess, 33, and husband Jack Brooksbank, 37, and a third grandchild for the Duke of York and for Sarah Duchess of York.
The baby is thirteenth in line of succession to the throne, following his elder brother, August, who was born 9 February, 2021.
Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank married at St George's Chapel, Windsor, 12 October, 2018.
Ernest is the first of Queen Elizabeth II's great-grandchildren to be born after her death. The infant is Her late Majesty's thirteenth great-grandchild, who is 13th in line of succession to the Throne, pushing the Duke of Edinburgh into 14th position.
Ernest's father, Jack Christopher Stamp Brooksbank (born 3 May, 1986), is a scion of the Brooksbank baronets of Healaugh, Tadcaster, the elder son of the late Mr George Edward Hugh Brooksbank (1949-2021), by his wife the former Nicola J Newton (b 1953).
