It contains a padparadscha sapphire surrounded by diamonds, and resembles a flower. Fans noted that the engagement ring bears a striking resemblance to Eugenie’s mother’s own band; Sarah Ferguson was presented with a Burmese ruby stone surrounded by diamonds by her now-ex husband, Prince Andrew, when they got engaged in March 1986.

And it seems the royal dropped a surprising hint about her son's usual moniker as far back as her wedding day on 12 October 2018.
The couple chose to pose for a wedding photograph in front of a portrait of Queen Victoria's consort, Prince Albert – whose middle name just happened to be Augustus.

Prince Albert's full name was Francis Albert Augustus Charles Emmanuel and he is little August's great-great-great-great-great-grandfather. The name August means 'great' in Latin.

Eugenie and Jack looked closer to home for the little boy's middle names. Philip is in honour of the Princess's beloved grandfather, the Duke of Edinburgh. The name is an anglicised version of the name Phillippos, from the Greek philos, meaning 'friend'.
Hawke, meanwhile, pays tribute to Rev. Edward Hawke, one of Jack's ancestors.
