Princess Eugenie must give her newborn son the middle name Stamp in honor of the 19th century Bank of England governor
- Princess Eugenie gave birth to a boy on Tuesday at Portland Hospital
- The 30-year-old has yet to announce the boy’s name, 11th in line to the throne
- It was suggested that his middle name could be Stamp, in honor of his father’s ancestor
Princess Eugenie must give her newborn son an unusual middle name – Stamp.
Although it has not been officially announced, the baby is expected to be named after an ancestor of his father, Jack Brooksbank.
Stamp Brooksbank was governor of the Bank of England in the mid-18th century and is Jack’s great-grandfather.
Eugenie, 30, the youngest daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, was seen being expelled from Portland Private Hospital in Westminster, central London, by her 35-year-old husband on Friday.

The couple and their first child are staying at Frogmore Cottage, on the Windsor Queen’s estate, which was offered to them by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex when they left to live abroad.
The baby is 11th in line to the throne, but, like his father, he will not have a real title. Mail on Sunday understands that the couple did not know the baby’s gender before he was born.
A source said: ‘Eugenie and Jack are hoping to be able to introduce their new son to the Queen before disclosing his name and a photo.

– It is tradition that members of the royal family tell the queen first, and since they are staying on the private boundaries of Windsor’s Home Park, Her Majesty could easily meet them for a walk to find the baby while she takes her dog. ‘
The boy, a ninth great-grandson of the Queen and Prince Philip, was born at 8:55 am on Tuesday, weighing 8 lb 1oz.
Her parents broke the tradition by immediately sharing a black and white photograph on Eugenie’s Instagram of them holding her little hand, accompanied by three blue hearts.
