The Portuguese village that’s become the base of power for Harry, Meghan and Eugenie: As princess gives birth in Lisbon, insiders reveal her new life, what she really thinks of Andrew… and surprising role of Sarah Ferguson
Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank have announced the birth of their daughter in Lisbon, an unusual overseas birth for a royal in the line of succession. The article presents the decision as evidence that Portugal has become the family’s main home and as a sign of shifting relationships within the wider Royal Family.
Their daughter was born on 3 August at 6.20pm, weighing 6lb 9oz; her name has not yet been announced. Eugenie and Brooksbank reportedly moved to Portugal’s Alentejo coast in 2022 and are now based near Melides, while the article says Eugenie has distanced herself from her father, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, and remains close to her mother, Sarah Ferguson.
- Eugenie’s daughter was born in Lisbon, not Britain.
- Portugal is reportedly now the Brooksbanks’ main base.
- The move is linked to changing York family relationships.
