Eugenie posted two photos of the royal baby on social media, one alone and one with his older brother August.
August could be seen leaning over a cot in the second photo, with Ernest sleeping inside as he watched.
Judi James, a professional body language expert, explained how August acted in this “natural” photograph.
“Eugenie is very good at producing very natural, down-to-earth, and non-royal photos of her family for social media,” she claimed.
“These photographs seem to give a very real insight into her life and her warm, loving family.”
August made a “protective” gesture towards his new younger brother, according to the body language expert.
“This touching photo of her new baby shows his sibling August peering into the cot,” Judi wrote.
