Princess Eugenie has welcomed a baby girl, bringing a fresh wave of royal baby excitement to the British royal family.

The 36-year-old princess and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, announced the safe arrival of their third child after the baby was born at a hospital in Lisbon, Portugal, on Monday, August 3, 2026.

Buckingham Palace confirmed that the little girl arrived at 6.20pm and weighed 6 pounds 9 ounces, or approximately 3 kilograms. King Charles, Queen Camilla and other members of the royal family were informed and were said to be delighted by the news.

The couple also released the first photograph of their daughter, giving royal followers their first glimpse of the newest member of the Brooksbank family. However, one major detail is still missing: the baby’s name has not yet been announced.

Princess Eugenie Announces the Arrival of Baby Girl Brooksbank

Princess Eugenie shared the family’s happiness through her Instagram account, confirming that she and Jack had welcomed a daughter.

In her announcement, Eugenie said the couple were “beyond in love with our girlie,” while referring to the newborn for the moment as Baby Girl Brooksbank. The affectionate wording immediately raised anticipation over when the couple will reveal her full name.

The announcement was supported by a formal Buckingham Palace statement confirming the location, time and weight of the birth.

The royal family’s official account also shared the news, signalling that the arrival had been formally welcomed by King Charles and Queen Camilla despite Princess Eugenie not being a working member of the royal family.

The palace described the birth as a safe arrival but has not released further private medical details. The couple is expected to spend time quietly with their three children before making additional public announcements.

First Photograph of Princess Eugenie’s Baby Girl Released

The first photograph of the newborn was shared through Princess Eugenie’s social-media account and the official royal family channels.

The image, taken by Jack Brooksbank, shows the baby resting in a soft outfit and matching hat. By allowing Jack to take the first official picture, the couple continued the personal approach they have previously used when sharing family milestones.

Unlike traditional royal birth announcements dominated by formal palace photography, Eugenie and Jack have generally shared intimate family photographs through Instagram.

The first image revealed the newborn without showing her full face clearly, allowing the couple to celebrate publicly while maintaining a level of privacy around their daughter.

What Is Princess Eugenie’s Baby’s Name?

Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank have not yet disclosed their daughter’s name.

The couple used Baby Girl Brooksbank in the initial announcement, suggesting they either want to keep the chosen name private for a little longer or may still be finalising it. Buckingham Palace also did not include a name in its official statement.

Royal baby names often generate intense public interest because they can contain tributes to relatives from both sides of the family.

Eugenie and Jack followed that tradition with their sons. Their eldest is named August Philip Hawke Brooksbank, while their second son is Ernest George Ronnie Brooksbank. Both names contain family connections and historical references.

Until Eugenie or Buckingham Palace makes another announcement, any suggested names circulating online remain speculation.

Why Was Princess Eugenie’s Baby Born in Portugal?

The decision to welcome the baby in Lisbon reflects the Brooksbank family’s growing connection to Portugal.

Princess Eugenie and Jack divide their time between London and Portugal. They began spending more time in the country after Jack reportedly accepted a professional role linked to a luxury property development in the region.

When staying in London, the family has used Ivy Cottage within the grounds of Kensington Palace. Portugal, however, has increasingly become an important family base for the couple.

Their two older sons were born in Britain, making the arrival of their first daughter in Lisbon a new chapter for the family.

It also means the newborn joins a small group of British royal descendants born outside the United Kingdom.

Baby Girl Joins Brothers August and Ernest

The newborn is Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank’s third child and their first daughter.

She joins five-year-old August Philip Hawke Brooksbank, born in February 2021, and three-year-old Ernest George Ronnie Brooksbank, born in 2023.

When Eugenie announced her third pregnancy earlier in 2026, the family shared a photograph connected to August and Ernest, highlighting their excitement about becoming older brothers.

The arrival gives the couple a family of three children less than eight years after their wedding at Windsor Castle.

Where Is Princess Eugenie’s Daughter in the Line of Succession?

The baby girl becomes 15th in line to the British throne.

Princess Eugenie currently holds 12th place. Her eldest son August follows in 13th, while Ernest is 14th. Their newborn sister comes directly after them, moving other members of the royal family one place further down the succession order.

Being in the line of succession does not mean the child is expected to become monarch. The Prince of Wales and his children remain at the front of the succession order, followed by the Duke of Sussex and his children.

The newborn’s position could also change as new children are born to people placed ahead of her.

Will Princess Eugenie’s Daughter Receive a Royal Title?

Although she is a member of the extended royal family and is in the line of succession, Princess Eugenie’s daughter is not expected to carry the title of princess or use the HRH style.

Princess Eugenie’s royal title does not automatically pass to her children because royal styles generally follow the father’s line. Jack Brooksbank does not hold a hereditary royal title, and the couple’s sons are officially styled as Master August Brooksbank and Master Ernest Brooksbank.

The newborn will nevertheless remain part of the wider royal family and may attend family occasions as she grows older.

Eugenie and Jack’s children are being raised largely outside the formal structure of working royal life.

King Charles and Queen Camilla React to the Royal Birth

Buckingham Palace said King Charles, Queen Camilla and other members of the royal family were delighted to learn about the baby’s arrival.

The palace’s decision to publish a formal announcement demonstrates that Eugenie continues to have a recognised place within the royal family, even though she does not perform official engagements on behalf of the monarch.

Eugenie is King Charles’s niece and the younger daughter of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson.

The baby is also another grandchild for Eugenie’s parents and a new cousin for the children of Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.

Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank’s Relationship

Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank married at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle on October 12, 2018.

The ceremony was attended by Queen Elizabeth II and other members of the royal family, along with friends, celebrities and representatives of organisations supported by the couple.

The couple had announced their engagement earlier that year after Jack proposed during a trip to Nicaragua. They had already been together for several years before the engagement.

Since their wedding, they have maintained a more private family life than many senior royals. Eugenie continues to work in the art world, while Jack has held roles in hospitality, marketing and property-related businesses.

Who Is Princess Eugenie?

Princess Eugenie is the younger daughter of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson and the younger sister of Princess Beatrice.

She is a niece of King Charles and a granddaughter of the late Queen Elizabeth II. Although she retains the title of princess, she is not classified as a working royal and does not receive a public salary for carrying out official royal duties.

Eugenie works as an art gallery director and is also involved with charitable causes, including projects connected with anti-slavery work, health and environmental conservation. ABC reported that she and Princess Beatrice have continued their professional careers while keeping a comparatively low public profile.

Her social-media presence often concentrates on family milestones, charity work and personal messages rather than formal royal announcements.

A Rare Public Family Update

The birth announcement is one of Princess Eugenie’s most significant public updates of the year.

Eugenie and Princess Beatrice have made fewer major public appearances in recent months, although both attended their cousin Peter Phillips’s wedding in June alongside other members of the royal family.

The sisters have largely avoided commenting publicly on controversies surrounding their father, choosing instead to concentrate on their careers and young families.

For Eugenie, the arrival of her first daughter gives the family a joyful personal milestone that stands apart from the wider attention surrounding the York branch of the royal family.

What Happens Next?

The next major announcement is likely to be the baby’s name.

Princess Eugenie may reveal it through Instagram, while Buckingham Palace could also publish an updated announcement. There is no confirmed date for when the name will be released.

The royal family’s official succession page is also expected to be updated to include the newborn after August and Ernest Brooksbank.

For now, the family is celebrating privately in Portugal as August and Ernest settle into their new roles as older brothers.
