Princess Eugenie, the youngest daughter of former prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson, is pregnant with her third child.
“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,” Buckingham Palace said in a statement obtained by Us Weekly on Monday, May 4.
Eugenie, 36, shares sons August, 5, and Ernest, 2, with husband Jack.
The statement continued, “August (aged 5) and Ernest (aged 2) are also very excited to have another sibling join the family.”
The British royal family just keeps growing — and with each new arrival, Queen Elizabeth II’s legacy continues.

While many royal fans know that generation, which includes Prince William and Prince Harry, it’s the queen’s great-grandchildren that still have Us […]
“His Majesty The King has been informed and is delighted with the news,” the statement added, referring to Eugenie’s uncle, King Charles III.
Eugenie also shared the news on Instagram early Monday morning, posting a picture of August and Ernest looking down at an ultrasound scan photo and writing, “Baby Brooksbank due 2026! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️👶🏻♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️.”
Eugenie announced her engagement to marketing executive Jack, 40, in January 2018 after seven years of dating. The couple tied the knot at St George’s Chapel, inside Windsor Castle, in October that year.
The royal welcomed her first son, August Philip Hawke Brooksbank, in February 2021. His middle name honors Eugenie’s grandfather, Prince Philip, who died in April that year.

The couple’s joyous news comes six months after King Charles moved to strip Eugenie’s father, Andrew, 66, of his royal title amid ongoing controversy surrounding his alleged connection to the late Jeffrey Epstein. (In 2019, Andrew was accused of sexually abusing Virginia Giuffre, whom he allegedly met through Epstein. He has denied the allegations.)
“Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. His lease on Royal Lodge has, to date, provided him with legal protection to continue in residence,” Buckingham Palace said in a statement shared with Us in October 2025. “Formal notice has now been served to surrender the lease and he will move to alternative private accommodation. These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him.”
“Their Majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain with, the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse,” the statement added.
During Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and Sarah Ferguson’s marriage, they welcomed two daughters together. Andrew, formerly known as Prince Andrew before he was stripped of his HRH titles in October 2025, and Sarah were married from 1986 to 1996. They welcomed daughter Princess Beatrice in 1988 and daughter Princess Eugenie in 1990, remaining friendly even after […]
In February, Andrew was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in a public office on his 66th birthday.
“I have learned with the deepest concern the news about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and suspicion of misconduct in public office,” Charles said via a statement at the time. “What now follows is the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities. In this, as I have said before, they have our full and wholehearted support and cooperation.”
