Overview
- Glossy magazines published new images showing Princess Eugenie with a clear baby bump during a Mayfair outing with her husband Jack Brooksbank and sister Princess Beatrice.
- Buckingham Palace had confirmed the pregnancy earlier and said the baby is due in summer 2026, sharing a photo of Eugenie’s sons holding an ultrasound image.
- The palace statement noted that the King had been informed and was delighted, which marked a shift from past announcements that named wider family members.
- Hello magazine suggested the omission of Eugenie’s parents, Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, was intentional given their recent fall from favor tied to Epstein-related scrutiny.
- The York sisters have kept a low profile for months, and this low-key public walk points to a cautious return that aligns with the monarchy’s tighter message control following investigations involving Andrew.
