Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank are ‘very happy’ to announce they are expecting a baby in early 2021, Buckingham Palace said
The Royal Family’s Twitter account said in a message on Friday: “Her Royal Highness Princess Eugenie and M Jack Brooksbank are very happy to announce they are expecting a baby in early 2021
« The Duke of York and Sarah, The Duchess of York, Mr. and Mrs George Brooksbank, The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh are delighted with this news «
Princess Eugenie, tenth to the throne, also confirmed the news on her own Instagram page, posting a photo of her and M Brooksbank holding hands and squeezing a pair of baby sized boots
The announcement comes nearly two years after the couple married at St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle, in October 2018
The baby will be a first grandchild for Prince Andrew and Sarah, Duchess of York, and a ninth great-grandchild for the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh
But although their mother is a princess, their father has no title and therefore the child will be born to a female line of the royal family – meaning they will be mere masters or Miss Brooksbank

They will not be HRH or title holders unless the Queen decides to step in and give M Brooksbank – who is the European brand manager of Casamigos Tequila co-founded by George Clooney – a county or rule-changing letters patent
