Princess Eugenie’s recent pregnancy announcement has sparked speculation about her relationship with her parents, particularly in light of their absence from the announcement and the royal family’s efforts to distance themselves from Andrew and Fergie due to their scandals.
Following the birth of her baby girl in Lisbon, Portugal, reports resurfaced about Eugenie’s alleged attempt to keep her parents out of the delivery room. However, according to RadarOnline, the decision was based on the couple’s established life in Portugal rather than any snub towards Andrew and Sarah.
A source close to the family explained, “There is absolutely no hidden message behind the decision to have the baby in Portugal. Eugenie and Jack have built a genuine life there over the past few years, and by the time the pregnancy reached its final stages it simply made sense for them to remain where they were settled.”
This decision was not meant as a snub to any family members but was about what worked best for Eugenie and Jack as parents.
Despite reports of Eugenie banning her parents from the hospital, sources claim that her main priority is to have a peaceful birthing experience without unwanted attention.
While Andrew was reportedly unhappy with Eugenie’s decision, the couple chose to prioritize their family’s well-being and stability.
The baby girl, whose name has not been revealed, is now 15th in line to the throne, following her mother and older brothers.
Eugenie and Jack split their time between Britain and Portugal, with the latter becoming a place they consider home due to their settled family life and reduced public scrutiny.
The decision to have their daughter in Lisbon was driven by practicality and a desire for a calm environment for the birth.
Buckingham Palace officially announced the birth, stating that Her Royal Highness Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank welcomed their daughter in Portugal.
Eugenie shared the news on Instagram, expressing her excitement and love for their new addition.
