Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank have become parents to a daughter born in Lisbon, Portugal (Jack Brooksbank\/Buckingham Palace\/PA)<\/p>\nBritain’s Princess Eugenie and husband Jack Brooksbank have announced the birth of their third child \u2013 a daughter.<\/p>\n
The couple\u2019s latest addition to their family was born on Monday at a hospital in Lisbon, Portugal, weighing 6lb 9oz, and mother and baby are said to be doing well.<\/p>\n
The birth is a rare occasion where a member of the royal family has been born overseas, with Eugenie and Brooksbank having a home and other connections in Portugal.<\/p>\n

In a statement Buckingham Palace said: \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.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe baby was born weighing 6 pounds 9 ounces.<\/p>\n
\u201cTheir Majesties The King and Queen and other members of the royal family were delighted to be informed of the news.\u201d<\/p>\n
The new arrival will be the fifth grandchild of the former Duke and Duchess of York, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson, after the birth of Princess Beatrice\u2019s daughter Athena Mapelli Mozzi in January last year.<\/p>\n
The happy family news is in stark contrast to Andrew\u2019s fall from grace over his friendship with the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year the former duke left his Windsor home after a public outcry about his \u201cpeppercorn rent\u201d and moved to the Sandringham estate, and he was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office before being released.<\/p>\n
Eugenie and Beatrice, who are granddaughters of the late Queen Elizabeth II, have faced scrutiny themselves after their names appeared in the Epstein files, the US Department of Justice\u2019s document dump relating to the late convicted sex offender.<\/p>\n
One email exchange suggested their mother Sarah took her daughters to see Epstein in the US days after he was released from prison for child sex crimes.<\/p>\n
Eugenie and Beatrice were 19 and 20 at the time.<\/p>\n
The sisters stayed away from the traditional royal gathering on Easter Sunday, with the agreement of Charles, amid the furore over their father.<\/p>\n
It is not known at which hospital the baby was delivered but the couple are said to be deeply grateful to medical staff for their care.<\/p>\n
Eugenie and Jack will be taking time to decide on the name of their new daughter while they enjoy time as a family.<\/p>\n
The baby girl will not be an HRH, and is 15th in line to the throne, with her great uncle the Duke of Edinburgh, moving down to 16th place.<\/p>\n
She will also be the 15th great-grandchild of the late Queen, and the third to be born since her death in 2022.<\/p>\n
The pregnancy was announced in May with Eugenie sharing on Instagram a picture of her young son Ernest, wearing a Chelsea football kit, and her other child August, wearing a long-sleeved grey T-shirt, holding a picture of a baby scan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Britain’s Princess Eugenie and husband Jack Brooksbank have announced the birth of their third child \u2013 a daughter.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":583579,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[93,61,60],"class_list":["post-583578","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/583578","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=583578"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/583578\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/583579"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=583578"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=583578"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=583578"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
