Princess Eugenie introduced her baby son to Prince Philip
Eugenie reflected on the sweet moment in a new BBC One documentary, Prince Philip: The Royal Family Remembers.
She revealed that she took her son, August Philip Hawke Brooksbank, to meet his great-grandfather.
Eugenie shared: “I brought little August to come and meet him. I told him that we’d named him after him.
It was such a lovely moment
“It was such a lovely moment. We were very lucky to do that.”
Philip, who died just days before his 100th birthday, shared a close bond with his granddaughter.
Looking back on the moment Philip gifted her a painting as a wedding present, Eugenie added: “It was so nice.
“It’s now sitting in my house in London and I’m so proud of it, you know?”
Following Philip’s death, Eugenie shared a touching tribute to the late royal.
At the time, she posted a series of photos of herself and the Duke of Edinburgh.

“People remember sitting next to you at a dinner, or shaking your hand once, who remember you saying hello in passing, or remember how much their DofE award meant to them.”
