Princess Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, are overjoyed to welcome their third child, a baby girl. The couple expressed their immense love for their newborn daughter in a heartfelt announcement shared on social media. The new addition to the family, born in a hospital in Lisbon, Portugal, weighed 6 pounds 9 ounces.
The royal family, including Princess Eugenie’s parents and other relatives, were thrilled by the news of the baby’s arrival. The newborn, 15th in line to the throne, does not hold a royal title. Princess Eugenie and Jack split their time between the UK and Portugal, where Jack is based for work.
The latest addition to the family marks the fifth grandchild of Princess Eugenie’s parents, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson. Prior to the birth, Princess Eugenie announced her pregnancy in May, sharing the news with a sweet post on social media. The couple’s two sons, August and Ernest, are also excited about their new sibling.
Princess Eugenie and Jack tied the knot in 2018 in a lavish ceremony at Windsor Castle. Jack, who has a background in hospitality, has worked in various roles in the industry. The birth of their daughter comes at a time when the family has been making appearances at royal events after a period of absence following certain controversies.
The National Audit Office recently highlighted arrangements concerning royal residences, including the accommodation of non-working royals like Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice. Despite the scrutiny, the family is celebrating the arrival of their newest member with joy and gratitude.
