The excitement was palpable when Buckingham Palace confirmed that Princess Eugenie is expecting her third child. However, the announcement sparked curiosity as it omitted a traditional phrase typically included in such news, raising questions among royal watchers. Here’s what unfolded!

The official statement revealed that Eugenie, 36, and her husband Jack Brooksbank are anticipating the arrival of their new baby this summer, noting that their sons, August, 5, and Ernest, 2, are “excited” about the addition to the family. It was also mentioned that the King has been informed and is pleased. Notably absent was the customary remark indicating that the broader families are “delighted,” a phrase included in previous pregnancy announcements for both Eugenie and her sister.
