Princess Eugenie is expecting her third child with husband Jack Brooksbank this summer. The announcement was made by Buckingham Palace on May 4, 2026. This news brings joy to the royal family amid ongoing scrutiny of her father’s past.
The baby is due in 2026 and will be the 15th in line to the throne. Eugenie and Brooksbank already have two sons, August and Ernest. August was born on February 9, 2021, and Ernest arrived on May 30, 2023.
In a statement, Buckingham Palace said, “Her Royal Highness Princess Eugenie and Mr Jack Brooksbank are very pleased to announce that they are expecting their third child together, due this summer.” The King has expressed his delight regarding the pregnancy.
This new baby will also be the 15th great-grandchild of the late Queen Elizabeth II. Eugenie and Brooksbank married in St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle, in October 2018.
The announcement comes at a time when Eugenie and her sister Beatrice have faced scrutiny due to their father’s controversies. The baby will be the third to be born since the death of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022.
