Overview
- Buckingham Palace announced that Princess Eugenie gave birth to a daughter on Monday, 3 August 2026 at 6:20pm in a Lisbon hospital and that the baby weighed 6lb 9oz with mother and child reported to be well.
- Princess Eugenie shared the first photograph on her official Instagram account with the caption saying she and Jack Brooksbank are “beyond in love” and that the couple have not yet announced a name for their daughter.
- The palace said the newborn will not hold the style Her Royal Highness or a royal title and the child is 15th in the line of succession, moving Prince Edward to 16th place.
- The Lisbon birth departs from the York family’s recent pattern of London births and reflects the couple’s split life between Ivy Cottage at Kensington Palace and a private residence in Portugal where Jack Brooksbank works on a coastal development.
- The birth comes as a private bright spot for the York family while they remain under public scrutiny following the loss of titles and legal attention surrounding Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor earlier this year.
