The Sweet Wedding Gift Prince Philip Made For Princess Eugenie
Princess Eugenie has opened up about the sweet wedding gift she received from her beloved grandfather, the late Duke of Edinburgh. Speaking in the commemorative BBC documentary "Prince Philip: The Royal Family Remembers," Eugenie recalled her grandfather's artistic skills and revealed that he had painted her a picture of a bunch of flowers as a wedding gift (via Hello Magazine). "It was so nice, it's now sitting in my house in London and I'm so proud of it, you know?" she says in the documentary.
According to People, the Duke of Edinburgh attended the wedding of Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank at St. George's Chapel in Windsor in October 2018. In February 2021, just two months before Prince Philip's death, Eugenie named her son August Philip Hawke as a tribute to her grandfather.
Upon his birth, August became the ninth great-grandchild of the Duke of Edinburgh and Queen Elizabeth II.
Princess Eugenie appears in the documentary alongside the royal family
Princess Eugenie features in the BBC documentary "Prince Philip: The Royal Family Remembers" alongside other senior members of the British monarchy, including the Duke's four children — the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, the Duke of York, and the Earl of Wessex — and Prince Philip's grandchildren — the Dukes of Cambridge and Sussex, Peter Phillips and Zara Tindall, and Eugenie's sister, Princess Beatrice (via Harper's Bazaar).
Throughout the program, which was originally made to honor the duke's 100th birthday prior to his death in April 2021, those closest to the late Prince Philip pay tribute to the senior royal through a string of emotional and lighthearted interviews.
An official BBC synopsis lauds the program as being a "historic" documentary that sees royal family members and Buckingham Palace staff share their personal thoughts and memories of the late prince. Their stories are full of humor and offer new insight into the legacy that he left behind.
