The baby is expected to join the line of succession as the 15th in line to the throne. The child will also be the 15th great-grandchild of Queen Elizabeth II and the third grandchild for Eugenie’s parents, Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson. The little one will arrive as the Brooksbank family continues its growing brood, following August, born February 9, 2021, and Ernest, born May 30, 2023. Eugenie and Jack married in St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle in October 2018, marking a milestone in their public life together.
The announcement was shared on social media by Buckingham Palace, signaling a period of celebration for the family amid ongoing public attention on royal life. The couple have previously appeared publicly with senior members of the royal family at occasions such as the Duchess of Kent’s funeral in 2025, and today’s news adds another chapter to their family story. As with other royal pregnancies, the announcement emphasizes the family’s joy and continuity for supporters around the world.
