Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank Expecting Third Child This Summer

The United Kingdom's Princess Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, are expecting their third child this summer, a joyful announcement marked by an adorable photograph of their sons, August, 5, and Ernest, 2. In the shared image, the two boys are seen holding a baby scan, with Ernest wearing a Chelsea football kit. Buckingham Palace released a statement confirming that the King has been informed and is "delighted" with the news. The new arrival will be born 15th in line to the throne, which will move the Duke of Edinburgh down to 16th place. The baby will also be the 15th great-grandchild of the late Queen Elizabeth II and the fifth grandchild of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. This happy news follows the birth of Princess Beatrice’s daughter, Athena Mapelli Mozzi, in January of last year. While the family celebrates the upcoming addition, reports indicate a continuing rift between Eugenie and her father. Sources suggest that Eugenie has completely cut contact with him due to his ties to Jeffrey Epstein, contrasting with Princess Beatrice, who has attempted to maintain a relationship with their father, including having him attend her daughter’s christening earlier this year.
