Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank have welcomed the birth of their third child, a daughter, at a hospital in Lisbon, Portugal. The baby was born on Monday, 3 August 2026, at 6:20 p.m., Buckingham Palace confirmed. The couple, who already have two sons, August and Ernest, shared the news on social media expressing their joy, with Eugenie describing the family as “beyond in love” with their newborn.
The newborn, who weighed 6 pounds 9 ounces at birth, was photographed by Eugenie in a pink onesie, holding her father’s finger. While the couple have not publicly announced the baby’s name, the princess noted that her older sons were “very excited” about the arrival. The baby is the 15th in line to the British throne and the fifth grandchild of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson, the former Duke and Duchess of York.
Buckingham Palace issued a statement confirming the safe delivery and noted that King Charles III and Queen Camilla, along with other members of the royal family, were “delighted” by the news. The birth of the princess’s daughter in Portugal is notable, as it is uncommon for British royals to give birth outside the United Kingdom. Eugenie and Brooksbank spend part of their time living in Portugal, where Brooksbank, 40, manages a luxury resort called CostaTerra Golf and Ocean Club near Lisbon. They also maintain a residence at Ivy Cottage within the grounds of Kensington Palace in London.
Jack Brooksbank and Princess Eugenie were married in 2018 at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle, after meeting in the Swiss Alps eight years prior. Their first son, August, was born in February 2021, followed by their second son, Ernest, in May 2023. The couple’s decision to have their third child in Portugal may enable the baby to apply for a European Union passport, given the location of birth.
This latest addition to the family comes shortly after Princess Eugenie and her sister Princess Beatrice were more visibly included in royal events, such as the recent wedding of their cousin Peter Phillips, signaling a renewed public role within the royal family.
