Overview
- Buckingham Palace announced Monday that Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank are expecting their third child, due this summer.
- Eugenie shared a photo of sons August, 5, and Ernest, 2, holding an ultrasound on Instagram with the caption, "Baby Brooksbank due 2026!"
- The palace said King Charles III has been informed of the pregnancy and is "delighted" with the news.
- The baby will be 15th in the line of succession and, under current conventions, will not have an HRH title because royal styles typically pass through the father.
- The news follows months in which Eugenie kept a lower profile as her family faced scrutiny, including her father Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's February arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office.
