Alongside the touching snaps, Princess Eugenie penned: "Yesterday meant so much to me, as I'm sure it did to so many watching. What a magical celebration for The King, The Queen, our country, and the Commonwealth.

Princess Eugenie's reflective social media post comes after she showed off her blossoming baby bump on Saturday at the King's spectacular coronation. Stepping out alongside her husband, Jack Brooksbank, Princess Eugenie, 33, donned a FENDI by Kim Jones custom-made navy silk and satin mid-length dress.

She teamed her statement frock with a dark blue double-sided cashmere coat and accessorised with a stunning navy headpiece and a chic leather bag. As for jewellery, the mother-of-one made a statement with a Garrard diamond collar necklace and matching earrings.

The pregnant royal styled her brunette locks in her signature natural waves and finished off her look with a touch of soft makeup. Stunning!

The sibling duo took part in a royal walkabout where they attended a Big Lunch. The Big Lunch was an idea started by the Eden Project in 2009 and made possible by The National Lottery – and has been supported by patron Queen Camilla since 2013.
