Overview
- Buckingham Palace said Princess Eugenie gave birth to a daughter at a Lisbon hospital on Monday, August 3, at 6.20pm, weighing 6lb 9oz, and reported that mother and baby are doing well.
- Princess Eugenie shared the first photograph on her official Instagram account with the caption that she and Jack Brooksbank are “beyond in love” with their new daughter.
- The newborn is the couple’s third child and first daughter, joining brothers August and Ernest, and the parents have not yet announced a name.
- The Palace and media reports say the baby will not be styled HRH and now sits 15th in the line of succession, moving Prince Edward and others down one place.
- Coverage notes the birth’s rarity outside Britain, highlights the family’s ties to Portugal, and places the arrival in the wider context of recent public scrutiny of the York family.
