Princess Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, have officially welcomed their third child into the world.
The exciting news was announced by the Princess and the Royal Family on August 5 via Instagram.
Scroll down for everything you need to know about Eugenie and Jack‘s beautiful family.
How many children does Princess Eugenie have?
Eugenie and Jack are parents to three children: two sons and one daughter.
Their son August Philip Hawke Brooksbank, was born February 9, 2021, and Ernest George Ronnie Brooksbank, born May 30, 2023.
They then welcomed their third child, a baby girl, on August 3 at 6.20pm, weighing six pounds and nine ounces, at a hospital in Lisbon, Portugal.
“Their Majesties The King and Queen and other members of The Royal Family were delighted to be informed of the news,” the Royal Family confirmed on Instagram.
“Jack and I are so excited to announce Baby Girl Brooksbank!! We are beyond in love with our girlie. 💓💓💓💓💓,” Eugenie gushed in a separate post.
At the time of publication, her name hasn’t been revealed.
Eugenie initially announced her third pregnancy on May 4, sharing a sweet photo of August and Ernest holding her scan.
The Royal Family also shared the exciting news to their own Instagram page.
“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,” the post read.
“His Majesty The King has been informed and is delighted with the news.”
The baby is 15th in line to the throne, though like his or her siblings, will not hold an HRH title.
What has Princess Eugenie said about motherhood?
Eugenie has been refreshingly candid about the realities of parenting. Speaking on the Lessons From Our Mothers podcast, she opened up about mum guilt — something she says she genuinely struggles with.
“Trying to make the perfect world for your children when you don’t hit the mark, feeling that guilt,” she said. “The guilt of maybe not being there the whole time or missing out on a moment or when I lose my temper.”
She spoke warmly about keeping perspective, recalling the battle of bath time with a toddler who simply wasn’t interested.
“The bath might be missed one night or tooth brushing might not happen — and to go, that’s fine, because they are little people learning and they can’t be perfect.”
Her conclusion was both practical and moving. “The guilt side of things — not let that consume the days, because the days are so precious.”
She also spoke out in November 2023, appearing on the Table Manners podcast with Jessie and Lennie Ware, where she shed light on her kids’ schooling.
Princess Eugenie told the podcast that she isn’t planning on sending her children to boarding school until the age of 13.
“My husband went to boarding school at eight,” Eugenie explained.
“Looking at my sons now, I want to hang out with them. I like playing with them, I don’t want them to leave.”
“I wouldn’t send them at eight – I haven’t told Jack that.”
In October of that same year, Princess Eugenie spoke on an episode of Kate Thornton’s White Wine Question Time podcast and opened up about her journey as a mother.
“My kids are so wonderful. Augie… just listens to me, I don’t know why. And Ernie smiles the whole time so they’re really easy and wonderful boys,” Eugenie said on the podcast at the time.
Eugenie also opened up about a very relatable parenting challenge.
“There are other things that don’t go well – feeding times are tearing my hair out type moments, but sleep is not a problem at the moment… There’s always sleep regression and things like that coming,” she said.
She also talked about how she raises her boys, discussing the strict parenting rules she has for Ernest and August.
“‘Manners maketh man’ – I’m trying to do that with my kids right now,” she told Kate.
Elaborating further on this in 2024 in an interview with the charity she co-founded called Anti-Slavery Collective, she answered a question on how parenthood changed her thoughts on modern slavery.
“My children make my world go around. It’s made me hungrier to do the work,” she said.
“I want to educate my children and all young people about being vulnerable, sensitive, and empathetic towards each other. I don’t want anyone to reach the age of 21 having not heard about modern slavery, like I did.”
