Princess Eugenie welcomes third child in Portugal

Princess Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, have welcomed a baby girl, born on Monday, August 3, 2026, at a hospital in Lisbon, Portugal. The newborn is the third child for the couple and marks only the third time in over a century that a member of the British Royal Family has been born on foreign soil.

The family resides in Portugal, specifically near the coast in the Melides and Comporta regions, a move driven by Eugenie's desire for anonymity and a more normal lifestyle away from the intense scrutiny of London. Jack Brooksbank works for the Discovery Land Company in the area.

Reports suggest the couple plans a highly private period following the birth, potentially limiting visits even from close family members. Sarah Ferguson has reportedly traveled to Portugal to support her daughter during her recovery in their villa.
