The new addition joins the line of succession to the British throne. Princess Eugenie is currently in the 12th spot, followed by her three children, making the baby 15th in the line of succession.

Princess Eugenie got engaged to Jack after seven years of dating in January 2018. They married that October in a royal wedding at St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle in a celebration attended by Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip and many members of the royal family.
Eugenie’s baby arrives in the midst of a tumultuous time for her family. In October 2025, King Charles stripped her parents, the former Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, of their royal honors and titles amid renewed interest in their ties to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Andrew has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing in connection with Epstein, and Ferguson has not been accused of any.
In February, Andrew was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, related to a claim that he shared confidential information with Epstein during his time as a trade envoy for the U.K.
Following the arrest, a source told PEOPLE that Princess Eugenie and her sister, Princess Beatrice, were trying to “stay away” from the controversy surrounding their parents. “They have young children, and this is their grandfather — their focus is on protecting their own children from this,” the insider said.
At the same time, another source, a family friend, told PEOPLE in a March 2026 cover story that Beatrice and Eugenie “want to hold on to their royal status,” amid the turmoil. “It’s their identity,” the source added.
Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice’s titles were not affected by their father losing his. The sisters are not full-time working royals like their cousin Prince William, and they make their living with day jobs. Princess Eugenie studied art history and English literature at Newcastle University and has worked as a director at the London art gallery Hauser & Wirth since 2015.
She also champions several charitable causes, including Scoliosis Association U.K., Teenage Cancer Trust, Elephant Family and The Anti-Slavery Collective.
