The double baptism of Princess Eugenies and Zara Tindall's sons was one of the royal highlights last year, but the first photo was a long time coming.

Windsor - Just in time for the start of the new year, the Royals are also taking a look back at the past months.

As reported by 24royal.de, Princess Eugenie (31) surprised her fans with a previously unpublished photo that was taken during a special family celebration.

Princess Eugenie opens family album: first photo of double baptism

On Instagram, Princess Eugenie shared some pictures from her private photo album to say goodbye to 2021. With sugary pictures of son August (10 months) and husband Jack Brooksbank (35), the 31-year-old looked back on her first year as a mother. The couple's first child was born in early February, and the royal offspring was finally baptized in November. The service in the Royal Chapel of All Saints in Windsor, in which Queen Elizabeth II (95) attended, took place at the time in camera. 

The palace has not yet published any official pictures, but in her review of the year, Eugenie gives an insight into the special ceremony in which August's cousin Lucas Tindall (9 months) - the son of Zara Tindall (40) - was baptized.

In the background, the followers can apparently catch a blurry look at Lucas and his mother Zara.

Princess Eugenie: joy and sadness side by side

The baptism of son August was certainly one of Eugenie's most beautiful moments last year, but Prince Andrew's daughter (61) also had to endure a few difficult hours.

Eugenie's father-in-law George Brooksbank (72, † 2021) died just a few days before the double baptism, and in April she had to say goodbye to her grandfather Prince Philip (99, † 2021).

Eugenie expresses her grief in the text for the post: “Goodbye 2021. A year that has blessed us with our boy and saw our family grow by new members, but also a year that has robbed us of some of our greatest and brightest lights .

Forever in our hearts. “
