Where Is New Royal Baby in Line to Throne as Princess Eugenie Announces Birth
The newborn is 15th in line to the British throne, pushing Prince Edward to 16th and moving other senior royals down the list.
- On Monday, August 3, 2026, Princess Eugenie and husband Jack Brooksbank welcomed their third child, a baby girl, at a hospital in Lisbon, Portugal, who becomes 15th in line to the British throne.
- Eugenie, daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, is 12th in succession, while her sons August and Ernest Brooksbank hold the 13th and 14th spots, respectively.
- The birth moves the newborn's great-uncle, Prince Edward, the Duke of Edinburgh, to 16th in line, and Buckingham Palace confirmed the baby will not receive the title of Her Royal Highness.
- Unlike working royals, the baby will not receive taxpayer-funded security or an official role; Eugenie and Brooksbank support their family through private careers, including Eugenie's director position at Hauser & Wirth.
- This arrangement aligns with King Charles III's ambition to maintain a smaller working monarchy, where extended family members pursue independent lives outside the core group of senior working royals.
