Her Royal Highness Princess Eugenie and Mr Jack Brooksbank are very pleased to announce that they are expecting their third child together, due this summer.

August (aged 5) and Ernest (aged 2) are also very excited to have another sibling join the family.

His Majesty The King has been informed and is delighted with the news.

Princess Eugenie is the younger daughter of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (formerly Prince Andrew, Duke of York) and Sarah Ferguson. Eugenie married Jack Brooksbank, eldest son of George Brooksbank and Nicola Brooksbank, née Newton, on 12 October 2018. The couple's first son, August, was born on 9 February 2021, while Ernest was born on 30 May 2023.

The addition to the family, if nothing else happens in the meantime, will at birth become no. 15 in the line of succession to the British throne.
