August Brooksbank is going to be a big brother! Buckingham Palace announced on Jan. 24 that King Charles III’s niece Princess Eugenie is pregnant. The 32 year old and her husband Jack Brooksbank are expecting their second child this summer.
“The family are delighted and August is very much looking forward to being a big brother,” the palace said in a statement (via AP ).
Eugenie shared the exciting news over on her personal Instagram account with an adorable photo of her one-year-old son kissing her baby bump.
“We’re so excited to share that there will be a new addition to our family this summer,” Eugenie captioned the sweet picture, which was taken by Jack.
The Princess’ brother-in-law Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi commented on the post: “❤️❤️.”
Eugenie and Jack, who tied the knot in 2018, welcomed their first child in 2021. August Philip Hawke Brooksbank was born at London’s Portland Hospital. He is currently twelfth in line to the British throne. Eugenie and Jack’s second child will be thirteenth in line.
August celebrated his first birthday last February. Eugenie marked the occasion with photos of her little boy, writing: “Happy 1st Birthday to our little hero Augie. You are such a special soul that brightens every room with your smile and wave. You have made us so very proud. We love you! 💙💙💙.”
