Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank have announced the birth of their baby daughter, born in Lisbon, Portugal. The King and Queen and other members of the Royal Family said they were "delighted" by the news, which was also shared by the couple on Instagram alongside a photo of the newborn.
The baby was born on Monday 3 August 2026 at 6.20pm, weighing 6lb 9oz, and is 15th in line to the throne, pushing her great-uncle the Duke of Edinburgh down to 16th place. She will not hold the title HRH and is the couple's third child, joining brothers August, five, and Ernest, two. She is also the late Queen Elizabeth II's 15th great-grandchild and the fifth grandchild of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, whose friendship with Jeffrey Epstein continues to overshadow the family.
In short
- Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank welcome a baby daughter in Lisbon
- Newborn is 15th in line to the throne, won't hold HRH title
- Royal Family, including the King and Queen, expressed delight at the birth
Explained simply
Princess Eugenie is a daughter of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson, and a granddaughter of the late Queen Elizabeth II. She married Jack Brooksbank in 2018; their two older sons are August and Ernest.
The British throne passes through the royal family according to rules of succession, which determine each person’s place in line. Eugenie is currently ninth, so her daughter enters after her and other relatives ahead of her; the Duke of Edinburgh is the King’s younger brother. A place in the line does not automatically give someone a royal title or the style HRH.
The birth also brings attention to the wider family: Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s past association with Jeffrey Epstein has continued to attract public scrutiny.
