Princess Eugenie is keeping her grandfather’s name alive with her newborn son, August Philip Hawke Brooksbank.
The 30-year-old British royal shared her son’s name with the public in an Instagram post 11 days after his birth.
"Thank you for so many wonderful messages. Our hearts are full of love for this little human, words can't express," Eugenie’s caption reads alongside three recent photographs of her and husband Jack Brooksbank doting over their new son.

The Royal Family’s social media accounts did not waste time in sharing the good news.
"Princess Eugenie and Mr Jack Brooksbank have announced that they have named their son August Philip Hawke Brooksbank," The Royal Family tweeted on Saturday, Feb. 20. "The couple have been touched by the well wishes they have received on the birth of their first child, and are delighted to share this first photo as a family."
August, who was born on Feb. 9, was initially 11th in line to the throne but was pushed to 12th place after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced they are expecting a second child last week.

Her son’s name also honors her husband’s distant great-grandfather Rev. Edward Hawke Brooksbank, according to an Instagram Story she shared.
August’s delayed introduction to the world comes days after news broke that Princess Eugenie delivered her son via C-section due to complications that stemmed from the scoliosis surgery she had done in her youth.
An insider reportedly told People magazine that the young royal and new mother is "doing really well" on Thursday.
Meanwhile, Prince Philip, 99, was hospitalized on Tuesday evening as "a precautionary measure" after he fell ill with an unspecified ailment, according to a palace statement.
