The recent royal baby boom has seen Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie, Luxembourg's Princess Stephanie and more welcoming babies in the last few years.
Most recently, Princess Eugenie announced the healthy arrival of her second child, Ernest George Ronnie Brooksbank. The royal tot, fondly nicknamed Ernie, was born on 30 May 2023 at London's Portland Hospital.
During the final stages of pregnancy, the expectant royal mum-to-be was spotted cradling her blooming baby bump just days before she gave birth, looking radiant in a floral smock dress from Whistles as she enjoyed a date in London with her husband Jack Brooksbank.
In light of Princess Eugenie's joyous news, we take a look back at some of the most historic royal bump moments.
