A pair of fluffy booties will make the perfect present for new parents

Every Mother’s Day we see endless adorable posts on our Instagram feeds – but one that really caught our eye this year was from Princess Eugenie.

The 14 March saw the royal celebrate her first Mothering Sunday since the birth of her son August Philip Hawke Brooksbank on 9 February.

She posted a picture of baby August lying on a blanket in the sunshine surrounded by daffodils, along with a tribute to her own mother, the Duchess of York.

While he looked nothing short of adorable wearing a bonnet, white jumper and whale-print leggings, it was his bunny slippers that took centre stage.

White and fluffy, with grey floppy ears and a super plush design, they proved a hit with Eugenie’s followers too, with multiple users commenting on them.
