Princess Eugenie melted hearts after she shared new pictures of her two children on a belated Valentine’s Day post paying tribute to her husband, Jack Brooksbank.

The Princess of York took to social media on Saturday to apologise for being late as she marked Valentine’s Day in her own special way.

Eugenie posted a series of never-before-seen family snaps, and two of them included her children, August, four, and Ernest, one.

In one photo, Jack can be seen walking with one of their sons, while another snap shows the couple sharing a hug with one another.

The princess’s first photo was a selfie with her “valentine” as they posed close together and smiled while being outdoors.

Eugenie captioned the post: “My valentine!! Love you to the moon and back. Happy Valentine’s Day (for yesterday…whoops) [heart emojis].”

The couple married in 2018 at a lavish ceremony which took place at St George’s Chapel in Windsor in October, just five months after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle‘s wedding.

They welcomed their first child, August Philip Brooksbank, on February 9, 2021, and their second, Ernest George Ronnie Brooksbank, on May 30, 2023.

The Princess of York was not the only royal to mark Valentine’s Day on social media this year.

The Prince and Princess of Wales and the Duke of Sussex and Meghan both posted photographs exchanging kisses on February 14.

Prince William and Princess Kate marked the day for the first time by sharing a photograph on their social media, with no hearts but just a heart emoji.

William and Kate looked in a blissful mood dressed in shorts, trainers and polo-style shirts, sitting on a rug in a wooded area, with the princess smiling as the prince kissed her on the cheek.

The photograph of William and Kate is a still image taken from the video released last September when the princess announced she had ended her cancer treatment.

Harry and Meghan looked equally enamoured, casually dressed as they shared a kiss in a black and white image, midway through a meal.

The Duchess, who posted the photo on her official Instagram account, wrote: “Back home taking care of our babies, and missing my Valentine, as he continues on at the Invictus Games, changing lives and reminding all of us of the power of healing and resilience through these incredible veterans and their families.

“Beyond proud of my husband and what he’s created.

“My love, I will eat burgers & fries and fish & chips with you forever. Thank you for you.”
