Princess Eugenie has welcomed her third child, a baby girl, and expressed immense love for her daughter and husband Jack Brooksbank. The newest addition to the family was introduced through a heartfelt announcement on Instagram by Princess Eugenie, who is the daughter of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson. The couple has not disclosed the baby’s name yet.
Buckingham Palace also released a statement confirming the birth, stating that “Her Royal Highness Princess Eugenie and Mr. Jack Brooksbank are overjoyed to announce the safe arrival of their daughter on Monday, 3rd August 2026, at 6.20 pm at a hospital in Lisbon, Portugal.” The baby girl weighed 6 pounds 9 ounces at birth, and the royal family, including The King and Queen, were delighted by the news.
Princess Eugenie and Jack divide their time between the UK and Portugal, where Jack’s work is based. They are thankful for the hospital staff’s care and are enjoying family time with their sons, August and Ernest, as they deliberate on a name for their newborn daughter. The baby is the 15th in line to the throne and the 15th great-grandchild of the late Queen Elizabeth II, marking the third great-grandchild born post the Queen’s passing in 2022.
This new arrival is the fifth grandchild of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson and follows the birth of Princess Beatrice’s daughter, Athena Mapelli Mozzi, in January of the previous year. Princess Eugenie had announced her pregnancy in May through an official statement from Buckingham Palace, sharing the news joyfully with the world.
Princess Eugenie and Jack tied the knot in a lavish ceremony at Windsor Castle in 2018, shortly after the wedding of her cousin Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Jack’s background includes education at Stowe private school in Buckinghamshire and a career in the hospitality industry, with notable roles at esteemed establishments.
The birth of their baby girl comes amidst recent family events, including the royal wedding of their cousin Peter Phillips, where Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice made appearances following certain controversies involving their parents. The sisters have been under scrutiny for various matters, including their accommodations and financial arrangements within the royal family.
