Princess Eugenie Is Pregnant With Her Third Child
She shared the happy news alongside a rare photo of her two sons
Reported by Harper's Bazaar.
Princess Eugenie is expecting her third child with husband Jack Brooksbank, and the announcement was as warm and unfiltered as the princess herself. She broke the news on Instagram — not via a formal palace statement, not through a spokesperson — just a photo of her two small sons clutching an ultrasound image, hearts everywhere, and the caption: "Baby Brooksbank due 2026."
The couple's story reads like it was written for a film treatment. They met in 2010 on a ski trip in Verbier, Switzerland, introduced by mutual friends. Eugenie has described it as love at first sight. Eight years later, they married on October 12, 2018, at St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle — the same venue Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had used just five months prior. The wedding was a full royal production, attended by family and dignitaries from across the UK.
A Family That Keeps Growing
Their eldest, August Philip Hawke Brooksbank, was born in February 2021. A second son, Ernest George Ronnie Brooksbank, followed in May 2023. According to Harper's Bazaar, the pregnancy news dropped just hours after Eugenie posted birthday tributes to Brooksbank, who turned 40 — making it, quietly, one of the better birthday weekends on record. Eugenie's brother-in-law Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, married to her sister Princess Beatrice, responded to the announcement with a string of red hearts. Minimal. Perfect.
What's worth noting here isn't just the royal family news cycle doing its thing — it's the way Eugenie has consistently chosen to share her life on her own terms. No curated distance, no press release aesthetic. Just kids, ultrasounds, beach photos of her husband, and a caption that uses approximately fifteen heart emojis. It's a specific kind of modern visibility that feels deliberately human, and in a royal context, that still registers as a choice worth paying attention to.
When a princess makes the birth announcement feel like a group chat message, she's telling you exactly who she wants to be — and that instinct, more than the headline itself, is what sticks.
