Princess Eugenie’s Baby News Sparks Tension for Royal Family Amid Ex-Prince Andrew’s Exile

A future member of the royal family is reportedly already stirring up drama.

On Monday, May 4, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and Sarah “Fergie” Ferguson‘s youngest daughter, Princess Eugenie, announced she is expecting her third child with husband, Jack Brooksbank.

Eugenie, 36, shared a sweet snap on Instagram of her two sons, August, 5, and Ernest, 2, holding a photo of her ultrasound, captioning her post, “Baby Brooksbank due 2026! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️👶🏻♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️.”

The official royal family X account also shared the news, explaining Eugenie’s sons “are also very excited to have another sibling join the family” and that King Charles III “has been informed and is delighted with the news.”

However, in the Thursday, May 7 edition of Rob Shuter‘s Naughty But Nice Substack, sources claim the guest list for the baby’s christening is cause for concern.

“[Prince] William will not be in the same room as Andrew. Not for this, not for anything,” one source explained. “If Andrew is there, William won’t be. It’s that clear.”

According to Shuter, Charles, 77, will have to decide whether to follow William’s lead or not.

Meanwhile, Fergie, 66, has no plans to come home to the U.K. In April, she was seen in the Austrian Alps, per a photo obtained by The Sun.

“She’s extremely cautious about returning right now,” a second source revealed.

As Star previously reported, the sovereign stripped Andrew, 66, of his royal titles in October as his connection to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was called into question by the public. He has maintained his innocence and continuously denied any wrongdoing,

In February, the former Duke of York was arrested on “suspicion of misconduct in public office” after allegations swirled that he shared confidential information with Epstein while he served as trade envoy. Andrew was released and never charged with a crime.

Buckingham Palace released a statement from Charles on the matter, which explained that the authorities have his “full and wholehearted support and co-operation.”
