The Palace said the couple are “very pleased” and that the King has already been informed and is “delighted” with the news. The new royal baby is due to arrive “in the summer”. Eugenie’s sons, Ernest and August, are said to be “very excited” for the new addition.
In a photograph shared by Eugenie, 36, Ernest, wearing a Chelsea football kit, and August, wearing a long-sleeved grey T-shirt, can be seen holding a picture of a baby scan.
Following the Palace’s announcement, Eugenie took to her own Instagram account to share the same photo of her sons, with the caption: “Baby Brooksbank due 2026! [heart and baby face emojis]”
Among the thousands of comments in the comment section, there was one that stood out, and it was no other than Beatrice’s husband, Edorardo Mapelli Mozzi’s.
Edo took to the comment section to express his love for Eugenie and Jack’s joyous news.
He posted three red hearts under the picture.
In a statement on Monday, 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.
“August (aged five) and Ernest (aged two) are also very excited to have another sibling join the family.
“His Majesty The King has been informed and is delighted with the news.
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.
