The royal family celebrated two special events on Friday as Princess Eugenie's husband Jack Brooksbank and Peter Phillips' ex-wife Autumn marked their birthdays.
Princess Eugenie paid a sweet tribute to her husband of nearly six years on Instagram as she posted some previously unseen snaps to mark Jack's 38th birthday.

Most adorable of all is a shot – presumably taken by proud wife and mum Eugenie – of her husband and their elder son August, 3, playing on the beach.
In the caption, Eugenie gushed: "Happy Happy Birthday my love. Always making joy wherever you are."

Three images showed the couple on holiday – on a boat, in front of mountain scenery and another by the beach, while a fourth featured little August on his mother's shoulders as Jack wrapped his arm around his wife and son.
"Happy Birthday to you my love. Here's to another 100 birthdays together," Eugenie wrote in the Instagram caption.

The Canadian-born mum of two married Princess Anne's son Peter back in 2008, with the family setting up home with their two daughters on the Princess Royal's Gatcombe Park estate in Gloucestershire.
Sadly, in February 2020 it was announced that the couple had separated in the months before after nearly 12 years of marriage. Their divorce was finalised in 2021, with Autumn still residing close-by to co-parent their daughters with Peter.

A friend of the couple told HELLO!: "Peter and Lindsay made the difficult decision to separate as they were spending less time together with work and family commitments. Peter's business commitments and work in F1 meant he has been away and travelling non stop.
"It obviously came as a shock as most people thought they were absolutely rock-solid, it’s very sad. Peter has been travelling all over the world and has been incredibly busy and Lindsay is based up in Scotland, so it's been hard for them to see each other."
© GettyPeter's roles as head of partner acquisition for the rights agency CSM Sport & Entertainment and as an ambassador for ISPS Handa have seen him travelling all over the world in recent months. He was in Bahrain for the F1 Grand Prix in March and in Australia the same month.
During their relationship, Lindsay joined Peter at a number of public events, including the Epsom Derby, Royal Ascot, Wimbledon and the King's Coronation Concert.
