In the photo, she was all smiles, looking directly at the camera. Meanwhile four-year-old August and almost two-year-old Ernest (donning the sweetest Mini Rodini sweatsuit) had their backs turned—though you catch a slight profile of the youngest, most likely eyeing mama’s meal.

The whole family kept it casual, especially Princess Eugenie who kept it bare faced and her hair pinned back. I rarely see this side of her, and the fact that she posed with her boys is just as a rare—let’s chalk it up to a birthday present to her fans.

As Senior Director of Special Projects & Royals Rachel Bowie points out, “From the days of Princess Diana, how the royals’ approach motherhood has been one of the most impactful aspects to watch. I love these rare glimpses such as this pic with August and Ernest that show a more relatable side. I mean, the Spidey socks! All moms have been there.”
