Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank have welcomed their third child and first daughter, born in Lisbon, Portugal.
Buckingham Palace has announced the safe arrival of a baby girl, the third child and first daughter for Britain’s Princess Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank. Marking a notable departure from traditional royal protocols, the newest member of the royal family was born in Lisbon, Portugal, reflecting the family’s increasingly sun-drenched, private lifestyle abroad.
According to the official statement released by the palace, the yet-unnamed royal baby was born on Monday, August 3, 2026, at 6:20 p.m. at a hospital in Lisbon. She arrived weighing a healthy 6 pounds and 9 ounces. Both mother and child are reported to be doing exceptionally well, and senior members of the royal family, including King Charles III and Queen Camilla, were promptly informed and delighted by the news.
A Sun-Drenched European Chapter
While Princess Eugenie’s two older sons, August and Ernest, were both born in London, this latest addition to the family underscores the couple’s transition to a more relaxed pace of life outside the immediate UK spotlight. Eugenie and Brooksbank split their time between the United Kingdom and Portugal, where Brooksbank works with property developer Mike Meldman.
The family’s partial relocation to the Portuguese coast has offered the royals a welcome layer of anonymity. Reflecting on her life abroad in previous interviews, Eugenie shared how much she values the freedom to embrace everyday routines away from persistent media scrutiny, noting the simple pleasure of running errands comfortably without notice.
Joyful Announcements and Warm Tributes
Sharing the happy news directly with well-wishers, Princess Eugenie posted a heartwarming first photo of the newborn on social media. Cradling her baby girl—dressed in a delicate pastel pink outfit adorned with a butterfly pattern—Eugenie captured the mood of the household with a short, ecstatic caption:
“Jack and I are so excited to announce Baby Girl Brooksbank!! We are beyond in love with our girlie.”
Tributes and congratulatory messages have since flooded in from across the globe, celebrating the expansion of the young family. As the family settles into life with their newest addition in Lisbon, the birth marks a joyous new milestone for the couple, blending traditional royal heritage with a modern, international way of life.
