Princess Eugenie welcomes baby girl, 3rd child with husband Jack Brooksbank
Princess Eugenie, the daughter of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly Prince Andrew, and Sarah Ferguson, formerly the Duchess of York, has welcomed her third child with husband Jack Brooksbank, Eugenie and the British royal family announced on social media Tuesday.
Eugenie, 36, and Brooksbank, 40, welcomed a baby girl on Monday, Aug. 3, at a hospital in Lisbon, Portugal, where the family lives part time, the royal family said.
The new infant joins the couple's two sons, August Philip Hawke, 5, and Ernest George Ronnie, 3.
Both the royal family and Eugenie shared a photo of the new baby on their official social media accounts Tuesday. The snapshot was taken by Brooksbank, according to the royal family, and shows the newborn wearing a pink onesie with wings on the back, as well as a matching hat.
"Her Royal Highness Princess Eugenie and Mr Jack Brooksbank are delighted to announce the safe arrival of their daughter, born on Monday, 3rd August 2026, at 6.20pm, at a hospital in Lisbon, Portugal. The baby was born weighing 6 pounds 9 ounces," the royal family's post read. "Their Majesties The King and Queen and other members of The Royal Family were delighted to be informed of the news."
In the caption of her post, Eugenie wrote, "Jack and I are so excited to announce Baby Girl Brooksbank!! We are beyond in love with our girlie."
The couple has not yet announced their daughter's name.
Eugenie is a niece of King Charles III, Mountbatten-Windsor's older brother. Her daughter is 15th in line to the throne, while her sons are 13th and 14th.
Eugenie and Brooksbank, who married in October 2018, announced they were expecting their third child back in May. Eugenie shared a photo of August and Ernest holding a sonogram at the time, writing in the caption of an Instagram post, "Baby Brooksbank due 2026!"
Buckingham Palace said at the time that Charles was "delighted with the news."
Eugenie's father, Mountbatten-Windsor, was stripped of his royal titles and honors by Charles last year, after stepping back from royal public duties in 2019 over fallout from his relationship with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
While Eugenie and her sister Princess Beatrice have retained their royal titles and their places in the line of succession, neither is a full-time working royal.
