A tweet from the official Royal Family account read: “The couple have been touched by the well wishes they have received on the birth of their first child,
and are delighted to share this first photo as a family.”
Augusts will use a His Royal Highness prefix or have a title despite his mother being a princess.
This is due to him being born through a female line of the Royal Family and will be a regular Master Brooksbank.
