Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank have announced the pregnancy of their third child today. Buckingham Palace said the couple are “very pleased” about the news and that the King, who has been informed, is “delighted” for them.
The couple’s sons, August, five, and Ernest, two, are “very excited” to welcome a younger sister or brother to the family, the palace said on Monday. The announcement was accompanied by a picture of the two siblings holding a baby scan of the latest future royal arrival.
It comes hours after Jack Brooksban celebrated his 40th birthday over the weekend.

The baby, who will not be an HRH, will be born 15th in line to the throne, with their great uncle, the Duke of Edinburgh, moving down to 16th place.
He or she will also be the 15th great-grandchild of the late Queen Elizabeth II, and the third to be born since her death in 2022.
The new arrival will be the fifth grandchild of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, following the birth of Princess Beatrice’s daughter Athena Mapelli Mozzi in January last year.
Mr Brooksbank celebrated his 40th birthday on Sunday, with the King’s niece marking the occasion by sharing photographs on her Instagram story of her husband relaxing on a beach with the caption “happy 40th my love”.
The pair married in St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle, in October 2018, and welcomed their first child, August, on February 9 2021. His younger brother Ernest was born on May 30 2023.
