Princess Eugenie explains name August Philip Hawke

As for the names, Eugenie also explained the royal history in her and Jack's choices. In an Instagram story (screenshot by People), she wrote: "On his grandfather's birthday weekend, thinking of my grandfather, we are introducing our little boy," referencing first Prince Andrew—whose birthday fell on Friday—and then Prince Philip, who is currently under observation in hospital.

Eugenie continued, "He is named after his great grandfather and both of his great x5 grandfathers." So, August was named after Prince Albert, the husband of Queen Victoria, whose full name contained Augustus; Philip came from Prince Philip; and Hawke came from the Rev. Edward Hawke Brooksbank.

August Brooksbank was named after Prince Albert (seen with Queen Victoria, 1861).

August Brooksbank was born in London on Feb. 9, at which time his parents shared only a close-up picture holding the hand of the newborn. They left the hospital on Feb. 12 and have since been home at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor.
