One image showed Dara walking on the beach wearing a gorgeous gold satin dress. Another sees her glancing over her shoulder as she smiles at her son. Crediting her "talented" offspring for the snaps, Dara captioned the images: "Sometimes I pick up my phone and find that my baby has taken all of these incredible photos.
"I think he's really talented (biased of course). Check out these photos he took on the beach!"

Beatrice and Edo's new arrival will be the second grandchild for Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson. Their youngest daughter, Princess Eugenie, became a first-time mother back in February when she welcomed son August with her husband Jack Brooksbank.
