Princess Eugenie has recently opened her heart about the “most special, mind-blowing experience” of her life—becoming a mother. At a charity event, she took a rare moment to reflect on her journey into parenthood, shedding light on the joys and responsibilities that come with raising children.

The daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, Eugenie is married to Jack Brooksbank, and together they are parents to two young boys: August, three, and Ernest, one. During an interview with The Anti-Slavery Collective—an organization she co-founded with Julia de Boinville in 2017—Eugenie stated, “My children make my world go around.” This candid admission reveals her deep connection to her family and the motivation behind her philanthropic efforts.

Eugenie went on to discuss the impact of parenthood on her perspective regarding modern slavery. She passionately expressed her desire for a future where no one reaches adulthood unaware of such pressing social issues. “Becoming a parent is the most special, mind-blowing experience of a person’s life. It has made me hungrier to do the work,” she emphasized. To her, educating her children about empathy and vulnerability is vital, aiming to ensure that they—and all young people—understand the significance and reality of worldwide human rights challenges.

Her reflective thoughts on parenting extend to environmental consciousness as well. In a previous interview with HELLO!, she revealed how the arrival of her son August shifted her priorities towards sustainability. “Since August came into my life, it’s positively impacted my desire to do more. I want to ensure that the world is a better place for them and even for my future grandchildren,” Eugenie shared, highlighting her commitment to creating a sustainable future for the next generations.

Princess Eugenie and Jack took a modern approach to announcing their family milestones, opting to share their joy on social media instead of traditional royal practices. They first revealed the arrival of August Philip Hawke, affectionately called Augie, shortly after his birth on February 9, 2021. A stunning black and white photo showed the proud parents holding their newborn's hand, garnering widespread admiration on Instagram.

The couple repeated their social media announcement style for their second son, Ernest George Ronnie Brooksbank, born on May 30 last year. A heartwarming image depicted August tenderly resting his hand on his baby brother's head, encapsulating the love and bond between siblings.

As Eugenie continues to navigate motherhood, she remains dedicated to her advocacy work, fueling her passion with the love she has for her children. Stay tuned for more inspiring moments from this royal mom who is determined to make a difference in the world, all while cherishing her family!
