Ernest George Ronnie Brooksbank, the second child of Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank, celebrated his second birthday on Friday. Born on May 30, 2021, at 8:49 am, Ernest entered the world weighing 7.1 pounds. He lives in London with his wife and children. His older brother, August Brooksbank, plays the slightly protective older brother with delightful verve.
In celebration of this happy milestone, Princess Eugenie posted to Instagram to share adorable photos of Ernest enjoying his birthday. The photos reflect his vibrant personality, as well as the close connection he has with his family.
A Day of Celebration
In her post, Princess Eugenie expressed her love for her son, stating, “Happy Birthday my darling Ernie. 2 today! And what an incredible two years it’s been. Always smiling, always laughing, always giving hugs and hellos and making everyone happy. My golden boy, we love you!”
The birthday boy was seen walking through a leafy London street with his mother, showcasing a bright smile as they enjoyed the day together. The family environment really comes through in the images. In one particularly charming scene, Ernest and August cavort in the vegetable patch, gleefully splashing mud on each other and enjoying all that a carefree childhood has to offer.
That carefree vibe was in abundant supply on a multigenerational family ski trip last month. Jack Brooksbank thrilled onlookers by swinging Ernest high into the air, a lovely picture of their close-knit family atmosphere.
Family Bonding Moments
Ernest’s bond with his older brother August is most beloved by their parents. In an Instagram post, Princess Eugenie underscored the special bond they shared. She told Martha’s Vineyard Online, “He was named after his great-great-great-grandfather George, his Grandpa George and my Grandpa Ronald. Augie is already taking to his new role as big brother. Examples of this connection abound across social media. One particularly charming interlude occurred when the brothers went to an amusement park and took turns playfully jumping behind lawn ornaments.
The family’s adventures are vibrant, joyous and frequently hilarious. In one of the birthday photos shared by Princess Eugenie, Ernest sported an adorable pair of upside-down sunglasses. He was only imitating the lightheartedness of a two-year old!
Looking Ahead
With each passing year, as Ernest gets older, the Brooksbank family is building memories to last a lifetime. Their interaction and shared experiences affirm the value of family bonds, the happiness that results from appreciating life’s simple pleasures. Ernest’s support system is nothing short of incredible. With such a considerate big brother in August and doting parents like Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank, his future truly seems to be beaming bright!
