“Her Royal Highness, Princess Eugenie, gave birth to a son safely today, 9º February 2021, at 0855 hours at Portland Hospital. Jack Brooksbank was present, “says a statement released this afternoon.

Naturally, Jack and Eugenie’s parents and grandparents are excited about the newest member of their family. According to a press release, “The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh, The Duke of York, Sarah, Duchess of York and Mr. and Mrs. George Brooksbank have been informed and are very pleased with the news.”
The child, whose name has not yet been made public, is the ninth great-grandson of Queen Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh, and the first granddaughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah, Duchess of York.
It is not clear at this point when a name can be shared publicly; the delay is a real tradition. “The reasoning is perhaps twofold. On the one hand, there is a desire to inform families before a public statement is made and any new parent appreciates having a little private time to learn about his new addition before the ad attack,” royalty Victoria Arbiter previously shared with City and Countryside via email before Prince Louis arrived.
“Royals, however, must also consider the great responsibility of naming a new family member and I hope they want to be one hundred percent sure of their choice before announcing the name and marking the baby’s place in the story.”
