Britain's Princess Eugenie gives birth to third child 05-Aug 01:45

Britain's Princess Eugenie, a niece of King Charles, announced on Tuesday the birth of her third ​child with husband Jack Brooksbank.

Eugenie, the younger daughter of ‌the monarch's disgraced brother Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, already has two sons, August, who was born in February ​2021, and Ernest, born in June 2023.

"Jack and ​I are so excited to announce Baby Girl Brooksbank!! ⁠We are beyond in love with our girlie," Eugenie ​said in a post on Instagram.

A separate post by ​the royal family's official account on X added: "Their Majesties The King and Queen and other members of The Royal Family were delighted to ​be informed of the news."

Eugenie married marketing executive Brooksbank ​at Windsor Castle in 2018.

The status of the princess, the 12th ‌in ⁠line to the British throne, has faced scrutiny since the fall from grace of her father over his friendship with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested in February ​by police on ​suspicion of ⁠misconduct in public office, having been stripped of all his titles, his mansion and ​any public involvement with the family. He denies ​wrongdoing ⁠and has said he regrets his friendship with Epstein.

While Eugenie and her sister Beatrice have been absent from most prominent public ⁠royal ​occasions since, they did appear with ​other senior royals at the wedding of their cousin Peter Phillips in June.
