Overview
- Bu ckingham Palace said Monday that Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank are expecting their third child, due this summer.
- Eugenie returned to Instagram to share a photo of sons August, 5, and Ernest, 2, holding a baby scan with the caption, "Baby Brooksbank due 2026!"
- The baby will enter the line of succession in 15th place and will not hold an HRH title because royal styles pass through the father, and Brooksbank is a commoner.
- Buckingham Palace said King Charles has been informed and is delighted, and noted that the couple’s two children are very excited for a new sibling.
- The announcement follows months of lower public profiles for Eugenie and her sister Beatrice as police continue inquiries tied to Andrew Mountbatten‑Windsor’s links to Jeffrey Epstein.
