Princess Eugenie is case in point for the phrase, “bumping along nicely” at present.
The 30-year-old royal, who announced her pregnancy in September with husband of two years Jack Brooksbank, is already showing a hint of a baby bump – and even better, its debut is part of an incredibly worthy cause.
Eugenie’s charity The Anti-Slavery Collective, which she co-founded with pal Julia de Boinville, shared a candid update on its official Instagram account.
Standing with Julia, Eugenie was pictured holding a pot of flowers and wearing a mask.
But of course, our eyes naturally went straight to her bump, which was sitting neatly beneath a beautiful navy blue floral printed dress.
Spot the bump! One of Eugnenie’s first bump pics hasn’t disappointed.
(Instagram)In a second and third image, the Princess was pictured alongside Julia again, this time speaking to trafficking and slave labour survivors.
In the moving caption, the Collective explained: “In honour of #AntiSlaveryDay, earlier this week our co-founders HRH Princess Eugenie and Julia de Boinville visited a @salvationarmyuk safe house for a socially distanced visit with modern slavery survivors and staff members.”
“They were incredibly moved by the courageous stories of the survivors who had endured sometimes decades of abuse at the hands of traffickers and slave labourers.”
“These incredible individuals have the courage to remain inspired by the prospect of a brighter future, despite their difficult journey in the face of extreme adversity.”
The caption explained the plant pots held by both Eugenie and Julia were made for them by survivors.
Eugenie and Julia heard stories from trafficking and slave labour survivors.
(Instagram)Eugenie has been keeping up on the communications despite her mind likely being preoccupied with all things baby.
Last week, she shared a sweet tribute for her mum, Sarah Ferguson, on her 61st birthday.
“Happy Birthday to my dear mumsy… You are one of a kind,” the 30-year-old wrote.
“There were too many pictures to choose from that show how completely unique you are.”
In the slew of images, Eugenie and her mum are seen together at various life stages.
Eugenie shared some sweet, never-before-seen snaps with her mum.

Mum-to-be Eugenie clearly looks up to her own mum.
(Instagram)Eugenie and Jack, who were married in October 2018, shared their exciting news with the world with another surprise Instagram post back in September.
Sharing a picture with two adorable little bear slippers, followed by a selfie of the pair looking ecstatic, the Princess wrote wrote: “Jack and I are so excited for early 2021….”
Frankly, we can’t wait for a new royal baby, and until then, we’ve got plenty of maternity fashion à la Eugenie to look forward to!
