Princess Eugenie’s Adorable Phone Lock Screen Steals the Show at Bahrain Grand Prix

Brace yourself for a quadruple‑shot revelation—Princess Eugenie, that effortlessly chic modern royal mom, just gave us the sweetest backstage peek at her life when she accidentally flashed her iPhone lock screen during a laid‑back outing at the F1 Grand Prix of Bahrain on April 13. I have SO MANY THOUGHTS (and double‑shot feelings), and we need to spill the tea on this adorable moment!

Picture this: Eugenie, 35, and her husband Jack Brooksbank, 38, step out with a crew of royals that reads like a VIP guest list—Princess Beatrice and husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, Zara and Mike Tindall, plus Peter Phillips and girlfriend Harriet Sperling—sans the kiddos, but little August (4) and Ernest (22 months) were definitely the talk of Eugenie’s phone. In an image snapped by Mark Sutton for Formula 1 via Getty, Eugenie held her phone aloft while texting (because even royals can’t escape group chats), inadvertently showing off a lock screen featuring a sentimental snap of her and one of the boys beaming at the camera. Cue my heart melting faster than my morning latte!

Now, let’s be real: what’s more relatable than a mom who sets her lock screen to her own mini‑me? This isn’t just any backdrop—it’s a genuine tribute to motherhood tucked into a princess’s palm, reminding us that even in a sea of tiaras and high‑profile events, family is front and center. According to Janine Henni, Royals Staff Writer for PEOPLE Digital, Eugenie and her sis Beatrice aren’t full‑time working royals like Prince William, yet they juggle jam‑packed schedules with philanthropic commitments—while still keeping their group chats buzzing.

And speaking of lock screens, did you catch Prince Harry’s subplot at the Clinton Global Initiative in September 2024? He publicly declared that his phone’s wallpaper is his own little duo, Archie (5) and Lilibet (3), rallying for online safety for kids. Talk about royal lock screen solidarity! Sources tell PEOPLE that Eugenie and Harry remain tight, despite Piers Morgan’s chatter about a supposed fallout after a pub outing in London. Spoiler alert: insiders confirm there’s zero truth to that drama—family ties are intact, thank you very much.

So there you have it: between the high‑speed F1 thrills and a covert glimpse of royal family love via a phone screen, Princess Eugenie just reminded us why she’s one of the most down‑to‑earth royals around. I could go on about this all day (seriously, somebody fetch me more coffee), but I’ll stop here—until the next royal minute gives us another caffeine‑fuelled gossip session!
