AceShowbiz - Princess Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, have exciting news to share with the public: the couple is expecting their third child together, anticipated to arrive in 2026. Eugenie, the youngest daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, already shares two sons with Jack, August, 5, and Ernest, 2.

On May 4, Princess Eugenie posted a heartfelt Instagram update revealing the pregnancy. The photo showed their two boys holding a sonogram image, with the caption "Baby Brooksbank, due 2026!" This announcement comes just under three years after the birth of their second son, Ernest.

Reflecting on their growing family, Eugenie previously shared the meaningful story behind Ernest's full name. In June 2023, she wrote on Instagram about welcoming Ernest George Ronnie Brooksbank on May 30, 2023, at 8:49 am, weighing 7.1 lbs. She explained that his name honors several family members: his great-great-great-grandfather George, his grandfather George, and her grandfather Ronald. She also noted how August is already embracing his role as a big brother.

Although Princess Eugenie has generally kept her children’s lives private, she has occasionally opened up about her hopes for her eldest son. In June 2022, writing for The Spectator, she expressed a desire for August to embody the qualities of his great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II. She admires the Queen’s patience, calmness, kindness, and ability to maintain a sense of humor and sparkle in her eyes despite challenges.

The royal also shared how parenthood has reshaped her and Jack’s perspective on life. Speaking to Reuters in early 2023 about August, she said, "My son's going to be an activist from 2 years old, which is in a couple of days." She emphasized that every decision they make is influenced by what is best for August, considering the kind of world he will grow up in and how he will live his life.

The same loving sentiment extends to their younger son, whom Eugenie affectionately calls “darling Ernie.” In May 2025, she posted a touching Instagram tribute celebrating Ernest’s second birthday. She wrote, "What an incredible two years it’s been. Always smiling, always laughing, always giving hugs and hello’s and making everyone happy. My golden boy, we love you!"

This latest pregnancy announcement highlights the couple’s joyful expansion as they prepare to welcome their third child. As royal watchers and fans celebrate the news, the Brooksbank family’s journey continues to attract warm attention.
