Princess Eugenie gave birth to a baby girl on Monday, August 3, 2026, at 6.20pm, at a hospital in Lisbon, Portugal.\u00a0Jack Brooksbank\/Buckingham Palace<\/p>\n

King Charles<\/a> and Queen Camilla<\/a> said they were \u201cdelighted\u201d at the news, according to a post from the palace on social media<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The new baby is a younger sibling to August, five, and Ernest, three.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The baby girl, whose name is yet to be revealed, was born in Portugal<\/a>, a bit of a change from Portland Hospital in London<\/a>, where the princess delivered her first two children<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cHer Royal Highness Princess Eugenie and Mr Jack Brooksbank are delighted to announce the safe arrival of their daughter, born on Monday, 3rd August 2026, at 6.20pm, at a hospital in Lisbon, Portugal,\u201d the statement from Buckingham Palace said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe baby was born weighing 6 pounds 9 ounces [3 kilograms].\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cTheir Majesties The King and Queen and other members of The Royal Family<\/a> were delighted to be informed of the news.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Instagram post noted that Brooksbank took the photo.<\/p>\n

He and Eugenie are known to spend a lot of time at their home in the luxurious CostaTerra Golf and Ocean Club on the Portuguese coast, an hour south of Lisbon.<\/p>\n

The baby is 15th in line to the throne<\/a> and is not expected to receive a royal title.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When her pregnancy<\/a> was announced earlier this year<\/a> Princess Eugenie said on Instagram: \u201cBaby Brooksbank due 2026!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The post was accompanied by a photograph of Ernest and August looking at a photo of the baby\u2019s scan.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The new baby is the fifth grandchild for the former Duke and Duchess of York, who were stripped of their royal titles by King Charles<\/a> in October last year because of their links to the late paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The news follows a difficult few months for the York family, which has found itself at the centre of headlines linked to Epstein.<\/p>\n

In February, Andrew was arrested<\/a> on suspicion of misconduct in public office following allegations he shared sensitive information with Epstein during his time as the UK<\/a>\u2019s trade<\/a> envoy. He was taken into custody on February 19, his 66th birthday, but later released. No charges have been laid.<\/p>\n

Both Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie have remained largely out of the spotlight since the Epstein scandal engulfed their parents.\u00a0AP<\/p>\n

Andrew has always denied any wrongdoing.<\/p>\n

He is now living at Marsh Farm on the king\u2019s private Sandringham Estate in Norfolk after being evicted, along with his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, from Royal Lodge in Windsor.<\/p>\n

Both Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie have remained largely out of the spotlight since the Epstein scandal<\/a> engulfed their parents.<\/p>\n

The sisters were each mentioned hundreds of times<\/a> in the cache of Epstein emails released by the US Department of Justice late last year.<\/p>\n

Beatrice and Eugenie were absent from several major royal-related events this year including Easter at Windsor Castle, Royal Ascot and Wimbledon, which were attended by senior members of the family.<\/p>\n

Apart from sharing her pregnancy announcement and posts to mark the birthdays of Ernst and Jack earlier in the year, Princess Eugenie has kept off Instagram.<\/p>\n

Her new baby would have been the 15th great-grandchild of the late Queen Elizabeth<\/a> II, and the third to be born since her death<\/a> in 2022.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Princess Eugenie has given birth to a baby girl, Buckingham Palace has announced.
