Princess Eugenie Had to Last Minute Cancel Baby August's Christening This Weekend
Disappointing news for Princess Eugenie: she and her husband Jack Brooksbank have last minute canceled their son August's christening this weekend due to COVID-19 protocols. According to Hello! Magazine, August was going to be christened at the Royal Chapel of All Saints in Windsor this coming Saturday, but the ceremony has been called off due to a guest being told to self-isolate.
Per Hello!, the The Queen was expected to attend the christening, along with other members of the royal family including Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi. At this time it's unclear when the event will be rescheduled.
As a reminder, bb August Philip Hawke Brooksbank was born on February 21—and yes, he was named in part after his great-grandfather Prince Philip, the Queen's late husband. As Eugenie put it on Insta Stories, “On his grandfather’s birthday weekend, thinking of my grandfather, we are introducing our little boy. He is named after his great-grandfather and both of his great x5 grandfathers. August Philip Hawke Brooksbank.”
Eugenie's been sharing a ton of cute photos of August since his birth, in part because she's one of the only members of the royal family to use a personal Instagram account. So yeah, it's basically just all cute baby pics all the time! On that note:
Here's to hoping Eugenie and Jack can reschedule this lil' dude's royal christening soon. And speaking of royal christenings, there are a ton of rules for how they go down, ahem:
