Princess Eugenie has shared a never-before-seen picture with her two sons August and Ernest in honour of her birthday on Sunday.
The wholesome image, which Eugenie shared to Instagram, showed the mother-of-two beaming from ear to ear as she enjoyed a quiet moment outside with her two boys.
Eugenie was facing the camera while sitting at a wooden picnic table, while sibling duo August and Ernest looked so sweet tucking into plates of food with their backs to the camera.
For their family gathering, August was dressed in a navy hoodie complete with sunshine yellow stripes. He wore a pair of blue jeans and some Spider-Man socks. Also looking adorable was Ernest who rocked a sky blue Mini Rodini set emblazoned with a playful animal print.

"Birthday besties…" Eugenie sweetly wrote in her caption.
Royal fans and friends quickly flooded the comments section with touching messages. "Gosh your youngest looks so much like you even from the side," wrote one, while a second noted: "Happy Birthday! Have a wonderful day," and a third commented: "Happy birthday. Such a lovely photo with your boys."

Motherhood has had a positive impact on Eugenie and has prompted her to "do more," when it comes to protecting her children's future.
During an interview with HELLO! ahead of the birth of her second child, she shared: "Since August came into my life, it's positively impacted my desire to do more.
"Priorities change when you have children; you want to do everything you can for them - and for your grandchildren. August is [still young] but I hope that what I'm doing will seep through to him and that one day he takes it on, too."

Of their life abroad, Eugenie said on the Table Manners podcast: "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."
