Princess Eugenie announces she’s expecting her second child

Loving grandmother Sarah Ferguson has revealed a cute nickname she uses for her newest grandchild Ernest, who was born on May 30.

The Duchess of York – commonly known as Fergie – regularly shares updates on her daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, and three grandchildren on her podcast Tea Talks.

In the latest episode, released on Thursday, she uses a sweet nickname for Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank’s second son, Ernest George Ronnie, referring to him as “Ernie Bernie”.

Fergie joked on her podcast that his name reminds her of milk carts in reference to the Benny Hill song Ernie (The Fastest Milkman in the West), asking her co-host Sarah Thomson not to start singing.

She has previously confirmed referred to him as “our new little lion cub” in a thank-you letter to a royal fan.

Eugenie and Jack chose names which refer to the nine-week-old’s royal and family heritage. Ernest was the middle name of George V.

The Instagram announcement of Ernest’s birth, made by Eugenie on June 5, also said he was named after his “great great great Grandfather George, his Grandpa George and my Grandpa Ronald”. George is also the name of Jack’s late father.

Ernie is not the only grandchild to have a nickname with the couple’s two-year-old son August often being called “Augie”.

The young family are currently away on holiday and Fergie said that she is “missing them terribly” as she is unable to travel while she recovers from her single mastectomy surgery after her breast cancer diagnosis.

She added that Princess Beatrice is also away with one-year-old Sienna and her seven-year-old stepson Wolfie.
