Princess Eugenie bans parents from third child's birth

Princess Eugenie, who is expecting her third child, has instructed that her parents, the Duke and Duchess of York, be excluded from the delivery room to avoid media attention. A source said her priority is a "minimum of fuss" and she does not want the hospital to become a "circus."

Her husband, Jack Brooksbank, has supported the decision, while the parents, especially Sarah Ferguson, have expressed disappointment and anger. The move comes amid ongoing scrutiny of the York family and recent reports about royal residence costs.

The baby is due later this year at London's Portland Hospital, where Eugenie's first two children were born.
