It is my understanding that she does.
Princess Eugenie has been given the title Princess because of a Letters Patent issued by King George V in 1917.
The Patent states that the sovereign’s grandchildren can hold Prince or Princess royal titles.
Princess Eugenie, and her sister, Princess Beatrice, both qualify as they as granddaughters of Queen Elizabeth II.
Not all of the Queen’s grandchildren hold royal titles, however.
For example, Princess Eugenie’s cousin, Zara Tindall – who is the daughter of Princess Anne and also a granddaughter of the Queen – does not hold one. Zara and her older brother, Peter, were not entitled to royal status by birth since titles can only be given to the monarch’s grandchildren through sons, not daughters.
Princess Eugenie title: Why is Princess Eugenie a Princess?
PRINCESS EUGENIE is the daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah, Duchess of York. But, why is Eugenie a Princess?
They use their princess titles wherever they go, never letting anyone forget. But on the other hand, it reminds us of who the father is.

Those two the gruesome twosome / royal ugly sisters as the tabloids have dubbed them over the years are so like their awful loud vulgar mother and would go to the opening of a matchbook if they thought they would benefit from it
The best part was when Martin Brundle (one of the commentators) did his usual “grid walk” before the race, and completely ignored the both of them to interview other more famous/relevant attendees.
I agree about the first name, Ernest. While it's lovely to honor a grandparent, Ernest is an unfortunate choice imho.
I do like the name George though I really like the feminine versions for girls like Georgia, Georgiana, and cute nicknames like Georgie.
Wise move to not include any of her father “Andrew, Albert, Christian, Edward” in his name.
It seems out of place to use “Ronnie” instead of “Ronald” which is more in keeping with the formal “Ernest” and “George” that precedes it.

Maybe her grandfather was more known as Ronnie to his nearest and dearest?
Just my two cents, but in that case I'd name him Ernest George Brooksbank and use Ronnie as a nickname.
How very Sussex of them to name the poor kid Ronnie... I don't get it, why not Ernest George Ronald? Might as well have named him Ernie Georgie Ronnie then. I'm not big on naming children by nicknames but then again, I always hated the fact my parents chose a short version of a longer, prettier name as my first name. I've got three given names but the first name has always annoyed me and maybe I'll change it at some point.
I don't mind August which is a fairly normal name around Europe, coming from Emperor Augustus I presume. I can even tolerate Ernest but Ronnie... All that said, the kids are both very cute.
