Princess Eugenie is pregnant! Prince Andrew’s daughter is ‘due to give birth to in several months’ 

Princess Eugenie is pregnant with her second child and will give birth in the summer, it has been announced.

Eugenie, the youngest daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, gave birth to her first child August, who is 13th in line to the throne, at London’s Portland Hospital in February 2021.

Announcing the news today, Buckingham Palace said in a statement: “Princess Eugenie and Mr Jack Brooksbank are delighted to announce that they are expecting their second child this summer.”

“The family is delighted and August is looking forward to being a big brother.”

Moments later, Eugenie shared an adorable snap on her Instagram page, taken by her husband Jack, showing their little son kissing her stomach, writing, “We are so excited to share that there will be a new addition to our family this summer.” ‘

While it is not known where the photo of Princess Eugenie and August was taken, it appears to have been taken in recent weeks, with frost on the ground.

In the snap, the mother-of-one can be seen smiling beamingly at her young son, who snuggled into her tummy with excitement.

At the moment it is not known if she is expecting a boy or a girl.

The princess has had a busy few months, making several appearances at royal events, including attending church in Sandringham for Christmas and Kate’s Christmas carol concert.

Eugenie married her husband Jack in October 2018, before welcoming their first child, August, in February 2021.

She announced her first pregnancy in a similar fashion, posting a snapshot on Instagram at the same time the palace announced the news.

She weighed in at 8lbs 1oz and the couple broke with tradition by immediately sharing a black and white photo on Eugenie’s Instagram of their baby girl, showing them holding her tiny hand.

Proud new mother Eugenie followed the post with three blue hearts after welcoming her son to the luxurious private hospital where Meghan Markle also gave birth to son Archie.

It comes after Eugenie said she wants her son to be a climate change activist from the age of ‘two’ and stopped using plastic at home.

Princess Eugenie said her one-year-old son August is the focus of her climate change activism (pictured with her son at Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee in June 2022)

At the World Economic Forum in Davos, the 32-year-old said giving birth to her son in August 2021 “completely changed” her perspective on the environment.

She said: ‘My son is going to be an activist for two years, which is in a couple of days.

‘Everything is for them, isn’t it? Every decision we make now has to do with how August is going to be able to live his life.’

His comments echo the interventions of his cousin, Prince Harry, 38, who described how “everything changed” when he became a father because he began to wonder “what is the point of bringing a new person into this world when gets to your age and is it on fire?’

The Duke of York’s daughter said becoming a mother has made her more concerned about communities vulnerable to climate change in a conversation with Reuters IMPACT and Arctic Humanity at Risk Basecamp.

Eugenie, speaking to Reuters editor-at-large Axel Threlfall and Arctic Humanity founder Gail Whiteman, said: “My son will be an activist from the age of two, which is in a couple of days. So, he, everything is for them.

“I spoke to Peter Thomson, the UN special envoy for the oceans and all he tells me is that I am doing this for my grandchildren. And that’s the same.

“Every decision we make now has to be about August, what he will be able to see and do and how he will live his life.

“But I also think that as a mother, all of a sudden, you totally change, your hormones change, everything changes.

In an interview with Reuters IMPACT and Arctic Humanity at Risk Basecamp, Eugenie said educating her son about the environment is a “battle.”

He also warned about the impact of climate change on vulnerable communities in the interview during the World Economic Forum in Davos.

‘Like now I’m afraid of flying and things like that and I never would have been before.’

Prince Andrew’s youngest daughter said she sees the world differently since becoming a mother and that her concerns about climate change have affected her way of life.

She revealed: ‘At home we are plastic free, we try to be plastic free as much as possible and I’m trying to teach him that. But it is a battle.

But the princess also spoke of her hope for the future of the environment, saying: “I like being in the ‘glass half full’.”

Eugenie added: “I’d rather be like that, but sometimes facts and figures and sometimes dinner parties give you that kind of frustrated, pessimistic feeling.”

And he also warned of the impact of a changing environment on vulnerable communities, adding: ‘Modern slavery and human trafficking is a really big problem all over the world.

“There are an estimated 49 million people in slavery today and we know that when the weather is vulnerable, the most vulnerable people are affected by it.

‘And we’re going to see that more and more, you know, every time a crisis happens, that people are going to be vulnerable and find themselves in difficult situations.

“So the weather really goes hand in hand.”
