Princess Eugenie gives birth to baby girl in Portugal

Princess Eugenie has welcomed her third child, a baby girl, born at a hospital in Lisbon, Portugal. The announcement came on Monday evening, with the baby arriving at 18:20 BST and weighing 6lbs 9oz. This marks the latest addition to her family with husband Jack Brooksbank, following their sons August Philip Hawke Brooksbank, born in 2021, and Ernest George Ronnie Brooksbank, born in 2023.

A statement from Buckingham Palace confirmed the news, stating: "Their Majesties The King and Queen and other members of The Royal Family were delighted to be informed of the news." Princess Eugenie, 36, shared her joy on Instagram, writing: "Jack and I are so excited to announce Baby Girl Brooksbank!! We are beyond in love with our girlie." The couple has not yet revealed the baby's name.

The new arrival, who will not hold the HRH title, is now 15th in line to the British throne. This position moves them ahead of their great-uncle, Prince Edward, the Duke of Edinburgh. Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank divide their time between Portugal and Ivy Cottage, located on the grounds of Kensington Palace. The couple had announced Princess Eugenie's pregnancy in May, with a post on Instagram featuring a photo of her young sons holding a baby scan and the caption: "Baby Brooksbank due 2026!"
