Royal baby is named

-

THE newly revealed name of the latest addition to the royal family is likely to attract a lot of interest, a commentato­r said.

Baby August Philip Hawke Brooksbank, son of Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank, is the Queen’s ninth greatgrand­child.

The couple chose the name August after Queen Victoria’s consort Prince Albert, who had Augustus as a middle name.

Prince Albert is August’s great-great-great-great-greatgrand­father.

Philip is in honour of Eugenie’s grandfathe­r and August’s great-grandfathe­r, the Duke of Edinburgh.

Philip is currently at King Edward VII’s hospital, having been admitted on Tuesday evening after feeling unwell.
