Princess Eugenie has shared touching photos of her family waving at the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee flyover as she shared a glimpse of her Jubilee celebrations online.
The Queen’s granddaughter, 32, is pictured standing with husband Jack Brooksbank, 36, who is holding their one-year-old son August, in photographs posted to her Instagram stories today.
The smartly dressed trio are standing on a London rooftop waving to the Platinum Jubilee flypast, at what appeared to be a jubilee celebration party.
Senior members of the royal family – including Prince Charles, Camilla, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their children – appeared on the Buckingham Palace balcony for Trooping the Colour today.
And while Eugenie has also featured on the balcony in previous years, she was not included this year after the Queen decreed that only working members of the Royal Family would join her to watch the flypast in order to avoid any awkwardness surrounding the presence of Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and Prince Andrew.

In 2019, there were 40 members of the family present, including her grandchildren and their families, as well as more distant relatives like her cousins’ children.
But this year just 17 members of her family were present: The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their children, The Earl and Countess of Wessex and their children, The Princess Royal and Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, the Duke of Kent and Princess Alexandra.
Eugenie opted for a pale blue chiffon dress, with embroidered lace sleeves and a full pleated skirt. Her deep brunette locks were curled and she wore a beige fascinator.
The princess’s son looked cute in his father’s arms, wearing a white shirt and cap in the same shade as Eugenie’s.
Followers of Eugenie’s posted comments including ‘Absolutely beautiful’ and ‘aww bless, look how big August has got, sharing in the celebrations of our gracious Queen on her platinum Jubilee celebrations’.
Others filled the comments section with love heart emojis.

The princess, the Queen’s granddaughter and the daughter of the Duke of York, is 12th in line to the throne.
Eugenie and Mr Brooksbank, a bar manager, married in 2018 in St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle in 2018.
In February 2021 she gave birth to August at the Portland Hospital in London.
He was christened in November at the Royal Chapel of All Saints in Windsor Great Park at a private service attended by the Queen.
The Queen’s Birthday Parade at Horse Guards in London was the first official Platinum Jubilee event of the bank holiday weekend, with Her Majesty appearing on the Buckingham Palace balcony for the RAF flypast at 1pm.
Eugenie was the first royal to kick off the tributes to the Queen this morning, by asking her followers to share photos and videos of celebrations to join together in paying tribute to Her Majesty’s life of service.
‘Good morning dear followers on this momentous first morning of the Jubilee weekend,’ she wrote.
‘Send me your pictures of videos and I will post some on her so we can all join together in honouring HM The Queen’s life of service’.
While Eugenie is not a working royal she has been vocal in support of her grandmother ahead of the historic weekend
Underneath the message, shared on her story, was a video posted to the Royal Family’s page marking the monarch’s life of service, including a sweet montage of photos from Her Majesty’s life from being a young girl to today.
‘On the first day of the Platinum Jubilee weekend and the anniversary of The Queen’s Coronation, we look back on Her Majesty’s life of service from her time as a young Princess supporting the war effort to her extraordinary commitment to her role as Monarch.’
While Eugenie is not a working royal she has been vocal in support of her grandmother ahead of the historic weekend.
Yesterday, she paid a moving personal tribute to her ‘grannie’ the Queen.

Writing in The Spectator magazine, said she hoped her one-year-old son August would grow to have the Queen’s ‘patience, her calmness and her kindness while always being able to laugh at himself and keep a twinkle in his eye’.
She described the nation’s longest-reigning monarch as having transcended time and been ‘a constant rock for so many’.
Reflecting on her ‘own special little family’ with the arrival of August, who was born in February last year, Eugenie said: ‘I think of my grannie and what she has stood for, for so many people and for our family during these 70 years.
‘I’d love Augie to have her patience, her calmness and her kindness, while always being able to laugh at himself and keep a twinkle in his eye.’
