Princess Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, are expecting their third child, set to arrive in the summer, as confirmed by a source close to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. Initially, Eugenie shared the news with her immediate family members, including her sister Beatrice and mother Sarah Ferguson, who then informed her ex-husband, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, about the pregnancy.
The revelation of the pregnancy was made public by Princess Eugenie last week, with the Palace expressing delight over the impending addition to the family. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor reportedly learned of his granddaughter’s pregnancy through Sarah Ferguson, as Eugenie had not been in contact with him since his titles were revoked last year.
Concerned about the reception from the Royal Family due to the ongoing controversy surrounding her parents, Eugenie hesitated to inform the King about her pregnancy. However, urged by her cousin Zara Tindall, she eventually reached out to the monarch through a heartfelt letter enclosed with an Easter card.
The Palace responded warmly to the news, with the King showing a protective attitude towards his nieces. Despite considering a separate media announcement, Eugenie and Jack were encouraged to involve the Palace, leading to an official announcement being made. The couple shared the news on social media, featuring a photo of their sons with an ultrasound image and the caption “Baby Brooksbank due 2026!”
In an official statement, Buckingham Palace announced the joyous news of Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank expecting their third child this summer. Despite past family issues and public scrutiny, royal correspondent Jennie Bond believes that Eugenie’s focus will now shift towards her growing family and the new chapter ahead.
