Once again the royal family has expanded after Princess Eugenie and husband Jack Brooksbank welcomed their first child, a son. The Princess shared an adorable photo of the couple holding the baby’s little hand on her official Instagram account. She captioned it with three blue heart emojis. At this time, she’s declined to reveal his name, though it is clear that this royal bundle of joy is already very loved.
The family shared that the baby was “safely delivered” and that “Her Royal Highness and her child are both doing well.” Brooksbanks was present as the baby was born. The royal baby weighed a healthy 8lbs 1oz. Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Eugenie’s parents, Prince Andrew the Duke of York and Sarah Ferguson the Duchess of York, as well as Brooksbanks’ parents, “have been informed and are delighted with the news.” The baby is now 11th in line to the throne.
A source told Vanity Fair that his parents may decline a royal title if gifted by the queen, though. “Eugenie knows that a title can be a curse as well as a blessing and she and Jack want their child to live an ordinary life and eventually work to earn a living,” the source said. “Titles really don’t matter to Jack and Eugenie, they just want a happy healthy child.”
The royal couple announced their pregnancy back in September 2020, so he will be considered a quarantine baby. We can’t wait to hear more about this bundle of joy!
