Princess Eugenie has given birth to her third child, a daughter, with her husband Jack Brooksbank. The 35-year-old announced the birth on Instagram on 4 August 2026, writing: "Jack and I are so excited to announce Baby Girl Brooksbank!! We are beyond in love with our girlie." Hello!

The accompanying photograph showed the newborn wearing a pastel pink babygrow and a blue hat decorated with drawings of hearts and butterflies. No further details — name, weight or place of birth — have been released.

The new arrival is the couple's first daughter and their third child overall. Their first son, August, was born in February 2021 at the Portland Hospital in London, with Brooksbank present. Their second son, Ernest, arrived in May 2023. Eugenie and Brooksbank married in October 2018 at St George's Chapel, Windsor.

Buckingham Palace confirmed the pregnancy in May 2026, with a statement noting that "the family are delighted and August is very much looking forward to being a big brother." The King was said to be "delighted" at the news. Sky News Eugenie herself had broken the news on Instagram the same week with a simple post: "Baby Brooksbank due 2026!" Sky News

Princess Eugenie is the younger daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah, Duchess of York. She holds the style of Princess as a granddaughter of the monarch through the male line — a style conferred by letters patent, the formal instrument by which titles and styles within the Royal Family are granted. Her children, however, do not automatically hold royal titles: under the 1917 Letters Patent of George V, princely titles and the style HRH pass only to the children of the sovereign and the grandchildren of sons of the sovereign. August and Ernest were given the surname Brooksbank rather than a royal title, and the new baby is expected to follow the same pattern.

Eugenie has, throughout her adult life, balanced occasional royal engagements with a professional career outside the Royal Household. She works in the art world and has been involved with several charitable organisations, including the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, where she was treated for scoliosis as a teenager.

The birth comes in a busy year for the wider Royal Family. The King and Queen undertook a state visit to the United States in April 2026, with a further royal visit by the King to Bermuda following. The Princess Royal is visiting South Korea and Thailand in July. The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh visited Portugal in June. royal.uk

For now, the household has offered no date for a public appearance or a naming announcement. The Court Circular — the official daily record of royal engagements — has not yet logged any formal notification of the birth, which is consistent with the practice for the children of non-working royals, where announcements are typically left to the parents themselves.
