Overview
- Buckingham Palace confirmed that Princess Eugenie gave birth to a daughter at a hospital in Lisbon, Portugal, on Monday, 3 August 2026, at 6.20pm and said both mother and baby are doing well.
- Eugenie shared a first photograph on Instagram and wrote that she and Jack Brooksbank are "beyond in love" while the couple say they are taking time to decide on a name.
- The newborn weighed 6 pounds 9 ounces and will not be styled as Her Royal Highness, a choice that places her 15th in line to the throne and moves Prince Edward and his children down one place.
- The baby’s Lisbon birth reflects the couple’s split residency between the UK and Portugal and is a relatively rare instance of a member of the royal family being born overseas.
- The arrival comes against a backdrop of heightened public attention on the York family after controversies involving Princess Eugenie’s father and recent reviews of royal residential arrangements, which could affect how the family manages its public profile going forward.
