Princess Eugenie opens up about baby August for first time in new interview

Princess Eugenie has opened up about her hopes for her new son, August.

• Princess Eugenie has shared her hopes and dreams for her baby son August in a new interview.
• In the clip, filmed before she gave birth to August (opens in new tab), Eugenie says she hopes he grows up to "make a difference".
• This royal news (opens in new tab) comes after Meghan Markle hit back at claims she 'bullied' Kensington Palace staff (opens in new tab).

Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank welcomed their first son last month and later confirmed his royal inspired name (opens in new tab) - August Philip Hawke Brooksbank.

Having shared a first look at her newborn tot on Instagram, Princess Eugenie has shared her hopes for her son as he grows up, in a new interview given before she gave birth.

Eugenie confessed that she aspires for baby August, who is currently 11th in the royal line of succession (opens in new tab), to make a change in the world.

Speaking to CNBC, Eugenie said, "I think my child hopefully will be one of those people who will continue to see the world as a place that can be changed.

"I would love people to continue to have hope that we can make a difference.

"I hope that the world will be a place where my child can have hope and continue to know that they can make a big difference."

Little August has already made a change to his great-grandmother's life - helping to break the Queen and Prince Philip's record of the most great-grandchildren born in one year.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle confirmed that they are expecting their second child (opens in new tab) days after August was born, meanwhile cousin Zara Tindall is expecting her third child (opens in new tab) with husband Mike.

Royal fans have been speculating over whether Meghan and Harry are having a boy or a girl (opens in new tab) and the second Sussex baby is thought to be due in the spring (opens in new tab).

Despite the fact that Harry has stepped back (opens in new tab) from royal duties, he can still become king (opens in new tab) and his son or daughter will take 11th place in the line of succession, bumping August up to 12th.

If Zara and Meghan both have baby boys, the Queen and Prince Philip will be the proud great-grandparents of great-grandsons and five great-granddaughters.

Incredible!
