Princess Eugenie welcomed her third child, a baby girl, expressing immense love for her newborn daughter alongside her husband, Jack Brooksbank. The couple, who already have two children together, joyfully shared the news on Instagram with a photo of the baby. The infant’s name has not been disclosed yet.
A press release from Buckingham Palace confirmed the birth of Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank’s daughter on August 3, 2026, at 6:20 pm in a Lisbon hospital, Portugal. The baby girl weighed 6 pounds 9 ounces at birth, with the Royal Family expressing their delight at the news.
Princess Eugenie and Jack divide their time between the UK and Portugal due to Jack’s work commitments. They are thankful for the hospital staff’s care and are currently enjoying family time with their sons, August and Ernest, as they deliberate on a name for their newborn daughter.
The newest addition to the family, although not bestowed with a royal title, is now 15th in line to the throne, causing Prince Edward, the Duke of Edinburgh, to move down to the 16th spot. Additionally, as the 15th great-grandchild of the late Queen Elizabeth II, this baby is the third to be born post the Queen’s passing in 2022.
The baby girl is the fifth grandchild of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson, following the birth of Princess Beatrice’s daughter, Athena Mapelli Mozzi, in January last year. Princess Eugenie had announced her pregnancy earlier in May, with Buckingham Palace and the Royal Family expressing their joy and anticipation for the newest member.
Before becoming parents, Princess Eugenie and Jack tied the knot in a lavish ceremony at Windsor Castle in 2018, following the weddings of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Jack’s background includes education at Stowe private school and a career in the hospitality industry, with notable roles in London’s nightlife scene and as the European brand director of Casamigos Tequila.
The birth of their third child coincides with recent family events where Princess Eugenie and her sister, Princess Beatrice, have been more visible within the Royal Family circle. Amidst discussions surrounding their parents and property arrangements, the sisters have been involved in significant family gatherings and events, showcasing their growing presence within the royal fold.
