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."

A Family Rift Reignited Behind Palace Doors Tensions within the royal family are nothing new, but one incident involving Prince Andrew and Princess Kate reportedly left Prince William furious — and drove yet another wedge between the already fractured family. According to royal insiders, Andrew once made a rude and dismissive comment about the Princess of Wales that “sent William over the edge,” deepening the quiet resentment that has long simmered between the two men. The Comment That Sparked Outrage The exact remark has not been officially confirmed, but palace sources allege that Andrew’s tone and attitude toward Kate during a private family gathering were “deeply disrespectful.” A royal insider revealed, “Andrew made a comment that was not only rude but incredibly inappropriate given Kate’s status and reputation. William was livid. He sees his wife as the foundation of his family and the future Queen — and any slight against her is a slight against him.” The remark re...

 A Stroll, A Smile, and A Splash of Tweed: The Royal Walkabout Done Properly here they were – two of Britain’s most famous walkers. No, not ramblers from the Lake District, but the Duke and Duchess themselves, out for what looked like a brisk countryside strut. Dressed like they’d just stepped out of a catalogue called Country Chic for People Who Don’t Actually Muck Out Stables , they managed to look both casual and royally polished. Prince William sported a sturdy khaki jacket with more pockets than a camping shop. Perfect for storing royal essentials: car keys, a phone, and perhaps a spare crown jewel or two (just in case). Kate, meanwhile, brought her A-game in a quilted number that whispered, “I can both open a village fête and win at clay pigeon shooting – all before lunch.” The pair wore red poppies pinned to their coats – a subtle reminder that while they might be smiling and chatting, their outing carried meaning and respect. And yet, one couldn’t help noticing that their...
