Princess Eugenie gives birth to baby girl in Portugal
The daughter of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson welcomed her third child on Monday.
Princess Eugenie has welcomed a baby girl at a hospital in Lisbon, Portugal, on Monday at 18:20 BST. The newborn weighed 6lbs 9oz and marks the third child for the princess and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, following the births of sons August Philip Hawke Brooksbank and Ernest George Ronnie Brooksbank. Buckingham Palace released a statement expressing delight over the news, with the royal family members also sharing their joy.
Princess Eugenie, 36, shared her excitement on Instagram, writing, "Jack and I are so excited to announce Baby Girl Brooksbank!! We are beyond in love with our girlie." The new arrival, who will not bear the HRH title, now holds the 15th position in the line of succession to the throne, surpassing her great-uncle, the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Edward.
The couple resides between Portugal and Kensington Palace's Ivy Cottage. Princess Eugenie announced her pregnancy in May, and the palace announced the news on social media, stating that King Charles was delighted with the news. Princess Eugenie and Brooksbank married in October 2018, and the baby will be a fifth grandchild for Eugenie's father, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
Mountbatten-Windsor lost his royal titles, styles, and honours after details of his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein surfaced, but both princesses retained their titles and are not working royals. Eugenie is a director at the art gallery Hauser & Wirth in Mayfair, while Brooksbank has worked in hospitality and marketing.
