The first photo of Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank's royal baby is here! After Buckingham Palace released an official statement (opens in new tab) confirming the safe arrival of the couple's baby boy, Eugenie posted her own announcement, via the chosen medium of the 21st century royal: Instagram. She shared an adorable black-and-white photo of her new arrival's tiny hand, wrapped around (presumably) Eugenie's finger and supported by Brooksbank. The royal captioned the photo with three blue heart emojis.
