Sarah Ferguson, affectionately known as Fergie, is reveling in the joy of becoming a grandmother once again.
Her daughter Princess Eugenie, alongside husband Jack Brooksbank, welcomed their newest addition, a son named Ernest George Ronnie, on May 30.
This delightful arrival has made Fergie’s eldest grandson, August, a proud big brother.
In response to a congratulatory card she received for little Ernest’s birth, Fergie took a moment to express her gratitude.
A fan account named Royal Addicted Replies shared a photo on Instagram of the heartfelt note, beautifully decorated with tropical branches and animals, featuring Ernest’s picture and a handwritten message.
Fergie lovingly referred to Ernest as a “little lion cub,” signing off with “love, love Sarah.”
The significance behind Ernest’s name is truly regal, paying homage to his great-great-great grandfather George, grandpa George, and Eugenie’s maternal grandfather Ronald.
As the 13th in line to the British throne, this young prince is poised to leave his mark on the royal family.
While officially named Ernest, the family has already embraced the endearing nickname Ernie for him.
During one of her podcast episodes, Tea Talks with the Duchess and Sarah, Fergie couldn’t contain her joy as she spoke about her precious grandchildren, particularly referring to the newest member as Ernie.
Fergie’s heart overflows with love not just for Ernest but also for her other grandchildren.
She adores August, Eugenie’s two-year-old son, and Sienna Elizabeth, Princess Beatrice‘s one-year-old daughter, whom she shares with her husband, Edoardo Mappellimosi.
Edo is also a loving father to his son from a previous relationship, Christopher Wolfe, fondly called Wolfie.
The bond shared between Fergie and her grandchildren is nothing short of heartwarming.
They look up to her with admiration, likening her to the mischievous Peter Pan, earning her the endearing title of Super Grand Pan for her infectious humor and magnetic presence.
Despite the joy surrounding the new addition to the family, Fergie has recently faced health challenges.
She received a diagnosis of early-stage breast cancer and underwent a successful mastectomy.
As she continues her recovery at Royal Lodge, her daughters Eugenie and Beatrice have stood by her side, offering unwavering support during this difficult period.
Fergie’s resilience shines through, and the love shared within her family remains a beacon of strength.
A mother, grandmother, and cherished member of the royal family, she serves as an inspiration to many.
Ernie’s arrival has undoubtedly brought an extra dose of joy to the Ferguson family.
With his endearing nickname, Ernie, and the love of his family surrounding him, he is destined to grow into a young prince with a compassionate heart and a promising future.
May he be blessed with health, happiness, and all the love that a little cub could ever wish for.
