Princess Eugenie melted hearts on Friday as the royal mum-of-two shared a sweet snap of herself carrying her two young children as they enjoyed a family break in Portugal.
In the heartwarming photo, the daughter of Prince Andrew was seen from behind as she walked down a boardwalk towards the sandy shores with both of her young boys, August, three, and Ernest, one in both of her hands.
The royal also showed off her sartorial prowess, rocking a bold blue and white dress as she effortlessly carried her two sons. Blue appeared to be the colour of the day, with August seemingly dressed in the colour, while Ernest had a pair of purple shorts.
The royal didn't caption her post, only sharing a blue heart emoji.

A second added: "Strong mama," while a third quipped: "What beautiful memories," alongside another blue heart emoji.

However, earlier in the month it was reported that royal is seeking a return to the United Kingdom. Eugenie is said to want to use the UK as a more permanent base while keeping their sun-soaked Algarve property for holidays, a source told the Express.

"This is why Portugal is the dream because I can go to the supermarket in my exercise gear and my hair piled on my head and not mind. Not care. No one cares," she told hosts Jessie Ware and Lennie Ware.
