Sarah Ferguson is thinking of Princess Eugenie on her birthday.

On Thursday, Eugenie's 33rd birthday, the Duchess of York, 63, celebrated her youngest daughter with a loving Instagram tribute starring a throwback photo. In the image, a young Princess Eugenie kept it cool in a denim jacket, sunglasses and a pink hair bow.

"Happy Happiest of birthdays, my Eugenie .. Spring flowers always tells me the excitement of your birthday is soon and here we are. You are my magical beloved daughter and I am so proud of you," Fergie, as the Duchess of York is affectionately known, captioned the photo.

A proud mother of two, Ferguson shares daughters Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice with ex-husband Prince Andrew. The princesses are both close with their mom, who recently told PEOPLE that they call themselves "the Tripod."

"One, I'm really proud of my girls. Two, I have very good grandchildren. Three, the most important thing is that you really focus on turning to joy," the Duchess told PEOPLE of life lately.
