London: Princess Eugenie, a niece of King ​Charles, has announced the birth of her ‌third child with her husband, Jack Brooksbank.

Eugenie, the younger daughter of the monarch’s disgraced brother Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and his ​ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, already has two sons: August, ​born in February 2021, and Ernest, born in June 2023.

The latest arrival becomes 16th in line to the British throne and would have been the 15th great-grandchild of Queen Elizabeth, who died in 2022.

“Jack and I are so excited to announce Baby Girl Brooksbank!! We are beyond in love with our girlie,” Eugenie said in a post on Instagram on Tuesday (Wednesday morning AEST).

While Eugenie and her sister Beatrice have been absent from most prominent public royal occasions since, they did appear with other senior royals at the wedding of their cousin Peter Phillips in June.
