Brother-in-law backs Princess Eugenie after pregnancy announcement


The York family has shared a burst of joyful news during a season of significant change. On May 4, 2026, Princess Eugenie delighted royal followers by confirming that she and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, are expecting their third child.

The announcement has been met with warm support from the highest levels of the monarchy and close family members alike.


A New Royal Arrival: Princess Eugenie Announces Third Pregnancy

A Joyful Family Update

Princess Eugenie took to social media to share the happy news, posting a heartwarming photograph of her two sons, August (5) and Ernest (2).   The boys are seen smiling while holding a sonogram image of their future sibling. The Princess captioned the post simply: "Baby Brooksbank due 2026!"

Buckingham Palace followed with an official statement, confirming the news and noting that the baby is expected to arrive this summer. The Palace spokesperson added that King Charles III has been informed and is "delighted" by the upcoming addition to the family.

Family Support and Celebration

The news has sparked a wave of public affection, including a sweet gesture from Eugenie's brother-in-law, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi. The husband of Princess Beatrice was among the first to react to the announcement, leaving a trail of heart emojis on the post—a simple but clear sign of family solidarity.

This public display of support is particularly meaningful given the recent headlines surrounding the sisters' parents. While the York family has faced a period of intense scrutiny, the royal community is rallying around Eugenie as she prepares to become a mother of three.

Future Role and Succession

The new arrival will hold a unique place in the Royal Family:

  • Line of Succession: The baby will be 15th in line to the throne, moving the Duke of Edinburgh down to 16th place.

  • Royal Titles: Following the 1917 Letters Patent, the child will not hold an "HRH" title or the title of Prince/Princess, similar to siblings August and Ernest.

  • A Milestone for the King: This will be the first great-nephew or great-niece born since King Charles’s recent state visit to the United States, marking a high point in a busy year for the monarchy.

Timing and Personal Milestones

The announcement came just one day after Jack Brooksbank celebrated his 40th birthday.    Friends of the couple suggest that the timing was intentional, serving as a double celebration for the family after Eugenie’s brief hiatus from the public eye.

"The couple is overjoyed to be expanding their family. After a challenging few months for the Yorks, this news has brought a much-needed sense of peace and excitement to everyone involved."
