Princess Eugenie celebrated Father's Day by posting a heartfelt tribute to her husband, Jack Brooksbank, on Instagram, featuring photographs of him with their two sons, August and Ernest. The royal made no reference to her own father, Prince Andrew, in the post.
Father's Day Tribute to Jack Brooksbank
Eugenie shared two images on her Instagram account. The first showed Jack walking outdoors with the boys, holding their hands as they strolled beside a green space. The second captured Jack keeping one of the children entertained during a wedding ceremony, seated inside a church with the youngster surrounded by football-themed stickers and a colouring book.
In her message accompanying the photos, Eugenie wrote: "Happy Father's Day to the best there is.. chief child entertainer for besties wedding too. The boys couldn't ask for a better Dada." The post focused entirely on Jack and their young family.
Notable Absence of Prince Andrew
Eugenie's father, Prince Andrew, was conspicuously absent from her social media feed. The former prince has been embroiled in scandal in recent years, and Eugenie has not publicly acknowledged him on Father's Day. According to sources, the snub reflects ongoing tensions within the royal family.

Meghan Markle also used social media to mark Father's Day, posting a photograph of Prince Harry with their children, Archie and Lilibet. The image showed Archie wearing an England shirt while embracing his father alongside his younger sister. Meghan wrote: "They're so lucky to have you. We all are. Happy Father's Day to our one and only."
Reports suggest that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are expected to travel to the UK next month. The visit may include time with King Charles, who is reportedly looking forward to seeing his grandchildren again. Harry and Meghan may stay at Buckingham Palace during the trip, amid ongoing security concerns.
