Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank expect their third child, Buckingham Palace confirmed. The couple shared the news as they prepare to welcome another baby this summer.
Buckingham Palace issued a statement confirming that Princess Eugenie, 36, and Jack Brooksbank feel “very pleased” about the pregnancy. In addition, King Charles III received the news and expressed his delight. The couple already have two sons, August, aged five, and Ernest, aged two. The palace said both children feel excited about a younger sibling. Meanwhile, Princess Eugenie shared a personal photograph that shows her sons holding a baby scan image, which highlights the family’s anticipation.
Princess Eugenie married Jack Brooksbank in October 2018 at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle. Since then, they have expanded their family steadily. They welcomed their first son, August, in February 2021. Later, they welcomed their second son, Ernest, in May 2023. The new baby will become the 15th great-grandchild of the late Queen Elizabeth II. In addition, the child will hold a place in the line of succession to the British throne, ranking 15th. However, the baby will not carry the style of His or Her Royal Highness.
The announcement adds another milestone for the wider royal family. In recent years, several royal births have followed the death of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022. As a result, the family continues to expand into a new generation. Princess Eugenie also marked Jack Brooksbank’s 40th birthday recently. She shared images on social media that show him celebrating on a beach. In addition, she posted a message that wished him a happy birthday and expressed affection for him.
The couple continue to balance private family life with occasional public royal appearances. For example, they have attended events such as Royal Ascot in previous years, where they appeared in the Royal Box. Meanwhile, Buckingham Palace did not release further details about the pregnancy. However, the announcement has already drawn widespread attention from royal watchers and the public.
The news marks a joyful moment for the couple and the wider royal family. As the due date approaches, interest will likely grow around the newest member of the royal household.
