Princess Eugenie has officially returned to work after giving birth to her son Ernest in May, as she announces a new series of her podcast with the Anti-Slavery collective.

The mother-of-two, 33, gave birth to baby Ernest at the end of May and spent the summer making the most of family life.

However after making her first post-natal public appearance last week at the Vogue World event in central London, in which she dazzled in a chartreuse gown, Eugenie is very much back to work.

In a story on the Anti-Slavery Collective’s Instagram account, Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson’s youngest daughter revealed the Floodlight podcast is returning for series two.

Speaking on the clip with her co-host Julia de Boinville, Eugenie revealed the podcast will return to the airwaves next month – and their first guest is former UK prime minster Theresa May.

Speaking in the video, Julia says the pair have been working on the second series of the podcast for ‘a long, long time’.

She revealed the guests on the new series included ‘sports stars, charity leaders, musicians’, among others.

Eugenie added the first episode of series two will land on October 18, which is Anti-Slavery Day, and that the first guest will be Theresa May.

She described the big name as ‘so exciting’. 

The Anti-Slavery Collective also revealed Eugenie will appear on Instagram Live this evening at 6pm where she will be in discussion with Reverend Rose Hudson-Wilkin. 

The announcement marks Princess Eugenie’s return to her dedicated charity work following Ernest’s birth on 30 May.

She made a splash last ween when she appeared at the Vogue World event for London Fashion week and cut a glamorous figure with her sister, Princess Beatrice, 35.

Princess Eugenie has welcomed her second baby with husband Jack Brooksbank, named Ernest George Ronnie

Ernest will not receive a title, however, and – according to rules laid down by George V in 1917 – is not entitled to be called His Royal Highness.

He is the first of Elizabeth II’s great-grandchildren to be born since her death last September.

The new baby is named after Eugenie’s grandfather on Sarah Ferguson’s side, Major Ronald Ferguson, as well as Jack Brooksbank’s own father George Brooksbank, who passed away in November 2021.

Major Ronald, who died in 2003 aged 71 in London, was polo manager to the late Prince Philip before working for King Charles.

He was educated at Eton, and followed up with a 19-year military career via Sandhurst and a commission in the Household Cavalry.

At the height of his career, he captained the Sovereign’s Escort during the Queen’s Trooping the Colour birthday parade.

He was known to be a colourful figure of London’s society, especially due to his marital affairs.

The Major was known to be protective of his family, especially his daughter Sarah, and valued his privacy.

He once told a journalist: ‘I am nobody. Nobody at all. I just happen to be the father of the Duchess of York. I mean, that doesn’t make me terribly important, does it?’

The mother-of-two stunned in a jewel-toned satin gown with statement shoulders and sported slicked-back hair and statement make up as she made her return to public life. 

Ernest George Ronnie Brooksbank was born at the Portland Hospital in London, just like his older brother August, in May.

Weighing 7lbs 1oz, his name pays tribute to his late grandfather, Jack’s dad George, who died aged 72 in 2021, and Fergie’s father Major Ronald Ferguson. 

Eugenie also said his name was a tribute to his great great great grandfather George V, whose middle name was also Ernest.

A sweet snap posted on Instagram showed her older son August watching over his little brother asleep in his Moses basker, which the new mother captioned: ‘Augie is loving being a big brother already.’

The new arrival is 13th in line to the throne, pushing Prince Edward into 14th place.
