- They welcomed their sons, August and Ernest, in 2021 and 2023, respectively
- Their third child, a baby girl, arrived in August 2026
Princess Eugenie is officially a mom of three.
Queen Elizabeth‘s granddaughter and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, welcomed their third child and first daughter on Aug. 3. The baby girl joins her two brothers, August Philip Hawke Brooksbank, born in 2021, and Ernest George Ronnie Brooksbank, who arrived in 2023.
Eugenie, who is the youngest daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, typically keeps her children out of the spotlight, but she has talked about them in various interviews. After the birth of her first child, she opened up about how she hopes August will take after his great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth.
“I think of my grannie and what she has stood for, for so many people and for our family during these 70 years,” Eugenie wrote in The Spectator magazine in June 2022. “I’d love Augie to have her patience, her calmness and her kindness, while always being able to laugh at himself and keep a twinkle in his eye.”

The couple’s son, August Philip Hawke Brooksbank — affectionately nicknamed Augie — was born on Feb. 9, 2021, at London’s Portland Hospital.
Eugenie and Jack introduced August to the world on Feb. 20, 2021, in a series of photos taken outside by their midwife. Currently, he is 13th in the line of succession to the British throne.
August’s middle name, Philip, is a tribute to Eugenie’s grandfather and Queen Elizabeth’s husband, Prince Philip. But that’s not the only royal nod in his moniker.
“On his grandfather’s birthday weekend, thinking of my grandfather, we are introducing our little boy,” Eugenie wrote on her Instagram Stories after August’s debut. “He is named after his great grandfather and both of his great x5 grandfathers.”
August’s first name honors Queen Victoria’s husband Prince Albert, who was born Franz Albert August Karl Emanuel. The middle name Hawke comes from a 5x grandfather on Jack’s side, Rev. Edward Hawke Brooksbank.

The boy was christened alongside second cousin Lucas Tindall on Nov. 21, 2021, at the Royal Chapel of All Saints in Windsor. The event was attended by the Queen herself despite an October hospitalization.
Though Eugenie typically keeps details about August private, she revealed on his 2nd birthday that she wants her “angel” to “keep dancing and smiling.”
Despite his young age, August has already begun life as a royal. He watched 2022’s Trooping the Colour event with his family, and made his royal debut days later for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Pageant, showing off his royal wave in a tiny Union Jack sweater.
Plus, Eugenie, who’s patron to a number of charitable organizations, is already hoping he’ll follow in her footsteps. In a January 2023 interview with Reuters, the princess shared that she’s passionate about teaching her son about climate change.
“My son’s going to be an activist from 2 years old, which is in a couple of days. So, he, everything is for them,” she said. “Every decision we now make has to be for August, what he’s going to be able to look at and do and how he’s going to live his life.”

In June 2023, Buckingham Palace announced that Princess Eugenie and Jack welcomed their second child the previous week.
“Princess Eugenie and Mr Jack Brooksbank are delighted to announce the safe arrival of their son, Ernest George Ronnie Brooksbank. Ernest was born on Tuesday, 30th May, and weighed 7lbs 1oz,” the statement read.
The proud mom also posted photos of her baby boy on Instagram, giving insight into his moniker in the caption. “He is named after his great great great Grandfather George, his Grandpa George and my Grandpa Ronald,” she wrote.
Ernest is 14th in the line of succession to the throne, after big brother August. He is Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip‘s 13th great-grandchild, the first born after her death on Sept. 8, 2022.
When Ernest celebrated his third birthday in May 2026, Eugenie shared a carousel of photos on Instagram in a sweet tribute to her son.
“Happy 3rd birthday to my tiger loving, hat wearing, constantly hugging, fearless golden boy Ernie,” she wrote. “You light up every room with your deep voice and infectious smile.”
