Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank welcomed their third child, a daughter, on Monday, August 3, 2026, at a hospital in Lisbon, Portugal. The baby weighed 6 pounds 9 ounces and was born at 6:20 p.m. Buckingham Palace announced the birth, and Princess Eugenie shared the news herself on Instagram with a photograph of the newborn, writing that she and Jack were "so excited to announce Baby Girl Brooksbank" (Town & Country). The baby's name had not been publicly announced as of the report.

The new arrival joins two older brothers. August Philip Hawke was born in February 2021, and Ernest George Ronnie arrived in May 2023. All three children follow their mother in the British line of succession, where Princess Eugenie currently sits 12th.

Princess Eugenie, 36, is the younger daughter of the former Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, and a niece of King Charles. She and Brooksbank married in October 2018 at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle, the same venue used by Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, earlier that year. The couple now splits their time between Ivy Cottage, a residence on the grounds of Kensington Palace in London, and a home in Portugal — a move tied to Brooksbank's work in the country.

Buckingham Palace first confirmed the pregnancy on May 4, 2026, when it announced that the couple were "very pleased" to be expecting (Reuters). The palace said the baby was expected later that summer, and the timeline held.

This is the third grandchild for the former Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson. For King Charles, the birth adds another great-niece to the extended royal family, which now spans four generations of descendants of the late Queen Elizabeth II.

The choice of a Lisbon hospital for the delivery reflects the couple's transatlantic living arrangement, which has set them apart from other working and non-working royals based primarily in the United Kingdom. Princess Eugenie does not carry out official royal duties on behalf of the monarch, but she retains her royal title and her place in the line of succession.

The birth announcement followed the pattern Princess Eugenie has established for each of her children: a palace confirmation followed by a personal social media post. As with August and Ernest, the name announcement may come days or weeks after the birth, continuing a royal tradition of waiting before revealing the chosen name to the public.
