Princess Eugenie marked Valentine’s Day on her Instagram account by sharing a string of family snaps along with a message that included a playful apology

Princess Eugenie has shared several never-before-seen family snaps alongside an apologetic message.

The mum-of-two took to Instagram to mark Valentine’s Day to pay tribute to her husband Jack Brooksbank, sharing several unseen family photos that also include their children August and Ernest. And her message also includes a playful apology as she made the post on Instagram a day late.

In the pictures, Eugenie can be seen playfully posing with her husband of six years while in another she proudly wears a jacket with Mrs Brooksbank embroidered on it. Other snaps show the couple cuddling with their children while a glam photo of the pair shows them gazing into each other’s eyes.

In her message, Eugenie wrote: “My valentine!! Love you to the moon and back. Happy Valentine’s Day (for yesterday…whoops).” Fans flocked to comment on the post and her “beautiful family” while among those leaving a message was her brother-in-law Edo, the husband of her sister Princess Beatrice

Eugenie and Jack got engaged in early 2018 and married later that year at St George’s Chapel in Windsor with guests including the late Queen, the Prince and Princess of Wales and celebrities including Robbie Williams and Ellie Goulding.

In 2021, the pair welcomed their first child – a son called August Philip Brooksbank – whose middle name pays tribute to his late great-grandfather Prince Philip. Their second son Ernest George Ronnie Brooksbank was born in May 2023.

William and Kate and Harry and Meghan were featured in photographs exchanging kisses on February 14 – the one day of the year reserved for lovers across the globe. The Waleses looked in a blissful mood dressed in shorts, trainers and polo-style shirts sat on a rug in a wooded area – with the princess smiling as the prince kissed her on the cheek.

The photograph of William and Kate is a still image taken from the video released last September when the princess announced she had ended her cancer treatment. It was posted on William and Kate’s official X account with no words – just a heart emoji.

The Sussexes looked equally enamoured and casually dressed as they share a kiss in a black-and-white image showing the couple midway through a meal. Meghan has recently left the Invictus Games for injured servicemen and women that Harry is hosting in Canada and posted a message to her husband alongside their romantic picture.

She said: “Back home taking care of our babies, and missing my Valentine, as he continues on at the Invictus Games, changing lives and reminding all of us of the power of healing and resilience through these incredible veterans and their families. Beyond proud of my husband and what he’s created.” In a reference to the meal captured in their photograph she adds: “My love, I will eat burgers & fries and fish & chips with you forever. Thank you for you.”
