Following the recent turmoil surrounding their family, Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice have been the center of attention. With their father, Prince Andrew, facing allegations of misconduct in public office and reports emerging about their mother, Sarah Ferguson’s close ties to Jeffrey Epstein, the spotlight has been on them. Despite all this, Eugenie’s pregnancy announcement seemed to overshadow everything else.
Now, with the arrival of their third child, the focus may shift. On August 3, Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank welcomed their baby girl at a hospital in Lisbon, Portugal.

The princess took to Instagram to share the news, expressing her excitement and love for their new addition. However, one detail was notably missing from the announcement – the baby’s name. While that remains a mystery, it’s speculated that her middle name will likely be Elizabeth, in honor of Eugenie’s great-grandmother, the late Queen Elizabeth II.
Generations of royal family members have carried the name Elizabeth, including Eugenie’s own relatives. The tradition of honoring Queen Elizabeth II with this name has been continued by her descendants, with many of her great-granddaughters bearing the name.
Prior to this, Eugenie had two sons, August and Ernest, making this her first opportunity to continue the tradition within her own family.
Reports surfaced that Eugenie had banned her parents, the former Duke and Duchess of York, from the hospital. She reportedly wanted a low-key birth experience and did not want any unnecessary attention.
Despite the reported displeasure from her parents, Eugenie stood firm in her decision. The insider revealed that Andrew and Fergie were not pleased with being excluded from the birth, with Andrew taking it as a personal affront.
Speculations arose that Fergie saw this as a chance to reconcile with the royal family, with suggestions that she wanted to avoid causing any further rifts. This desire to maintain a good relationship with the royal family could potentially impact her future actions.
Overall, Eugenie’s focus remains on her growing family, with the birth of her baby girl marking a new chapter for her and Jack Brooksbank. As they navigate parenthood with three children, the royal couple continues to uphold traditions while making decisions that are best for their family.
