In a photograph shared by Eugenie, 36, Ernest, wearing a Chelsea football kit, and August, wearing a long-sleeved grey t-shirt, can be seen holding a picture of a baby scan.
In a statement, Buckingham Palace said: âHer Royal Highness Princess Eugenie and Mr Jack Brooksbank are very pleased to announce that they are expecting their third child together, due this summer.
âAugust (aged five) and Ernest (aged two) are also very excited to have another sibling join the family.
âHis Majesty The King has been informed and is delighted with the news.â
The baby, who will not be an HRH, will be born 15th in line to the throne, with their great uncle, the Duke of Edinburgh, moving down to 16th place.
He or she will also be the 15th great-grandchild of the late Queen Elizabeth II, and the third to be born since her death in 2022.
The new arrival will be the fifth grandchild of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, following the birth of Princess Beatriceâs daughter Athena Mapelli Mozzi in January last year.
Mr Brooksbank celebrated his 40th birthday on Sunday, with the Kingâs niece marking the occasion by sharing photographs on her Instagram story of her husband relaxing on a beach with the caption âhappy 40th my loveâ.
The pair married in St Georgeâs Chapel, Windsor Castle, in October 2018, and welcomed their first child, August, on February 9 2021. His younger brother Ernest was born on May 30 2023.
