Princess Eugenie’s family and kids
The couple’s two children, August, five, and Ernest, two, are “also very excited to have another sibling join the family”, the message said.
The baby is due this summer.
The princess, 36, also shared the news on her Instagram account alongside an image of her young sons holding a baby scan.
“Baby Brooksbank due 2026!” the caption read, followed by a series of red hearts and a baby emoji.
The new arrival – who will not be an HRH – will be 15th in line to the throne, moving ahead of their great-uncle the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Edward.
Brooksbank celebrated his 40th birthday on Sunday.
He and Princess Eugenie married in October 2018 and welcomed their first child August in February 2021. Ernest, their second son, was born in May 2023.
The baby will be a fifth grandchild for the princess’s father, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
Who is Princess Eugenie’s husband, Jack Brooksbank?
Brooksbank, who was born in London, has had a long-standing career in the hospitality sector, serving as a nightclub manager at Mahiki and as a brand ambassador for George Clooney’s well-known tequila brand, Casamigos. In 2022, he began a new position at Discovery Land Company, a development firm located in Portugal. He and Eugenie now divide their time between London and Portugal.
In 2010, at the age of 24, Brooksbank first met 20-year-old Princess Eugenie during a skiing holiday in Switzerland, where they were both guests at the same resort.
After the announcement of their engagement in January 2018, Brooksbank shared with the BBC that his encounter with Eugenie felt like “love at first sight.”
The couple dated for more than seven years before Brooksbank proposed in January 2018 while on vacation in Nicaragua. Later that same year, they exchnaged vows at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle on October 12.
Although he comes from a lineage of British nobility and subsequently married into the British royal family, Brooksbank does not possess a royal title of his own.
