Six years later, and the couple have welcomed two sons – August, three, and Ernest, one.

The low back feature was specifically requested by Eugenie, who had surgery as a child to correct scoliosis.

She also wore the Greville emerald tiara, loaned to her by her grandmother Queen Elizabeth II for her wedding day. 

It comes after Eugenie opened up about how her two sons, August and Ernest, have reacted to the news that they’ll soon have another cousin.

Beatrice, 36, who is the elder daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, is expecting her second child with her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi. 

Speaking to Hello! magazine, Eugenie admitted that her children, who are aged three and one, aren’t fully aware that they’ll soon be welcoming a baby cousin to the family. 

The Princess said: ‘I haven’t got that far yet. I think maybe Augie will see the tummy growing and realize but no, they don’t get it. Just yet.’

She also discussed her mother, Sarah, the Duchess of York’s feelings about the good news, explaining she is ‘so happy’.
