Overview
- Buckingham Palace said Princess Eugenie is expecting her third child this summer and noted that the King is delighted.
- The announcement broke with past practice by leaving out references to the wider families of Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank.
- People reported that the phrasing keeps attention on her news as police continue a misconduct-in-public-office investigation involving Prince Andrew and as his name appeared in U.S. Department of Justice files on Jeffrey Epstein.
- Eugenie shared a photo on Instagram of her sons holding a baby scan and was later photographed in London showing her baby bump.
- The baby is expected to be 15th in the line of succession, which would move everyone currently behind that spot down one place.
