The proud parents have chosen the first name August for their son, which means "great" in Latin. It comes through the family tree, as Queen Victoria’s husband Prince Albert’s full name was Francis Albert Augustus Charles Emmanuel.

Their son's middle name Philip, of course, pays tribute to Eugenie's grandfather, the Duke of Edinburgh. It is an anglicised version of the name Phillippos, from the Greek philos, meaning "friend". Prince Philip was born into the Greek and Danish royal families, but his family was exiled from Greece when he was a baby.

Hawke, which bookies didn't predict would be included, pays tribute to Rev. Edward Hawke Brooksbank, one of Jack's ancestors.
Eugenie later took to Instagram Stories to explain her son's names a little bit more. "On his grandfather's birthday weekend, thinking of my grandfather, we are introducing our little boy," she wrote. "He is named after his great grandfather, and both his great x5 grandfathers."
Baby August Philip Hawke is currently 11th in line to the throne behind his mother Eugenie, but will move down to 12th when the Duchess of Sussex gives birth to her second child this year.
