With Eugenie at home with their new son the photos raised a few eyebrows amongst royal watchers, however, Jack’s mother-in-law Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, has come now to his defence, clarifying the context of the situation.
“Jack, who was on the front page, is such a man of integrity,” Princess Eugenie’s mother said during an appearance on The One Show.
“He’s just one of my most favourite people. I call him James Bond, actually.
“He’s just a superhero in my book, and he’s a great father, a fabulous husband, and he’s never at front of house, he always likes to be at the back.”
She then went on to clarify that the 35-year-old was seen posing for photos as part of the Casamingos tequila event, for which he is an ambassador.
“For them to make this story is completely fabricated, he works as an ambassador for Casamigos, and he was doing his job, and so I think it’s really important that we clarify that for Jack’s sake.”
Eugenie and Jack welcomed their first child, a baby boy named August, in February this year.
In an official statement, which was shared on 9th February 2021, the palace confirmed the 30-year-old, who is 10th in line to the throne, safely delivered her first child in The Portland Hospital, 8.55 AM London time.
