A new baby has joined the long line of successors to King Charles' current throne – knocking the king's brother Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburgh down a peg.
Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank announced the birth of their second son, Ernest George Ronnie Brooksbank on Monday. The little boy was born on May 30, days before Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's daughter, his cousin, Lilibet Diana's second birthday. He weighed 7.1 pounds.

Eugenie, 33, also shared a picture of her doting elder son, August, affectionately known as Augie, cradling the top of his baby brother's head. "Augie is loving being a big brother already," she noted.

Her continued positive relationship with Prince Harry is also notable, given his strain with both his brother Prince William and father King Charles.
Last month at the king's coronation, Eugenie was one of the few royals who interacted with Harry.
