Princess Eugenie has announced the birth of her baby girl, born on Monday, August 3rd, 2026, at 6:20pm, at a hospital in Lisbon, Portugal. The baby weighed 6 pounds 9 ounces at birth. The royal family, including The King and Queen, were delighted to be informed of the news. The new arrival is the fifth grandchild of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
The baby girl will be 15th in line to the throne, with her great uncle moving down to 16th place. She will also be the 15th great-grandchild of the late Queen Elizabeth II, and the third to be born since her death in 2022. This birth marks a significant addition to the royal family, with the baby girl becoming a part of the family's lineage.
The birth of Princess Eugenie's baby girl is a rare occasion, as it is not common for a member of the royal family to be born overseas. However, Princess Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, have a home and connections in Portugal, which made it a suitable location for the birth. The couple has a strong relationship, having met in 2010 through mutual friends.
Jack Brooksbank has a background in hospitality, having worked his way up the ranks in various establishments, including a pub in Chelsea and a nightclub in Mayfair. He and Princess Eugenie are said to have received the Queen's blessing for their marriage in 2016, during a meeting at Balmoral. The couple's relationship has been supported by the royal family, and the birth of their baby girl is a welcome addition to the family.
