Announcement and family reaction

The palace statement released May 4 said the couple are "very pleased" and that the baby is due this summer. Their sons, August (5) and Ernest (2), were singled out as "very excited." Eugenie shared the news on Instagram with a jubilant "Baby Brooksbank due 2026!" accompanied by heart emojis; Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi added hearts in the comments. The statement also noted that King Charles has been informed and is delighted.

Quiet since family upheaval

Eugenie and her sister Beatrice had kept a low profile after their father, Prince Andrew, was arrested on Feb. 19 at Sandringham on suspicion of misconduct in public office amid an inquiry into alleged sharing of confidential information with the late Jeffrey Epstein. In October 2025 King Charles removed Andrew's princely title and he left Royal Lodge. A U.S. Department of Justice dossier released Jan. 30 named several family members; being named does not imply wrongdoing and the sisters' royal status remains unchanged.
