Princess Eugenie, the younger daughter of disgraced ex-Prince Andrew, has announced that she and her husband Jack Brooksbank are expecting their third child.

The princess, 36, posted a photo of her two sons holding a picture of a baby scan on Instagram, with the caption: “Baby Brooksbank due 2026!”

She wrote her children—August, five, and Ernest, two—are “very excited to have another sibling join the family.”

Buckingham Palace confirmed the King “has been informed and is delighted with the news.”

The new baby, due this summer, will become the 15th in line to the British throne, pushing Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburgh, down to 16th place. Princess Anne will go from 18th to 19th.
