The British royal family is about to get a little bigger, as Princess Eugenie has announced that she is pregnant with her first child with husband Jack Brooksbank.
Eugenie, 30, announced her pregnancy in an adorable Instagram post alongside a photo of her and her husband’s hands intertwined with a pair of fuzzy teddy bear baby shoes.
“Jack and I are so excited for early 2021…. ,” the daughter of Prince Andrew captioned the photo.

Eugenie’s pregnancy was also confirmed by Buckingham Palace early Friday morning.
” Her Royal Highness Princess Eugenie and Mr Jack Brooksbank are very pleased to announce that they are expecting a baby in early 2021,” read a post on the official royal family’s Instagram account underneath a photograph of the couple on their wedding day. “The Duke of York and Sarah, Duchess of York, Mr and Mrs George Brooksbank, The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh are delighted with the news.”

This comes at a difficult time for Eugenie and her sister, Princess Beatrice, as their father Prince Andrew has found himself being hit with backlash over his friendship with the late billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Virginia Roberts Giuffre, the former sex slave of Epstein’s, has claimed that she was forced to have sex with Andrew on three occasions, including once when she was underage.
Last month, Giuffre claimed that Andrew even compared her to his daughters before having sex with her.
“Before he abused me, when we just met, Ghislaine does this guessing game and he guessed right, I was 17 and he compared me to his daughters, saying, ‘Oh, my daughters are a few years younger than you,'” Giuffre said [1]. “Prince Andrew is not the prince from the fairy tale stories you read. Andrew deserves to be outed. He deserves to be held accountable. He’s an abuser.”
Lady Victoria Hervey, a former friend of Andrew, said that being friends with Epstein was a form of escapism for Andrew.
“Jeffrey definitely enjoyed the idea of being friends with the Queen’s son and Prince Andrew had just gone through a divorce,” Hervey explained. “There’s this American billionaire that wants to fly him around the world and introduce him to people, and it was probably an escapism, really, for him.”
