Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi reacts warmly after royal family confirms baby news
Princess Eugenie has shared that she is expecting her third child in 2026, with Buckingham Palace confirming the news in an official statement.
Eugenie, who married Jack Brooksbank at Windsor Castle in 2018, already has two young sons. August, born in February 2021, and Ernest, born in June 2023, are said to be excited about welcoming another sibling into the family.
The palace added that King Charles III had been informed and was delighted by the news.
Eugenie, currently 12th in line to the throne, is the younger daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson. The announcement was met with a wave of congratulatory messages online, reflecting strong public interest in the growing royal family.
Among those showing support was Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, husband of Eugenie’s sister, Princess Beatrice. He responded to Eugenie’s Instagram post featuring her children with three heart emojis, a simple but clear gesture of encouragement.
The happy update follows a challenging period for the family, as ongoing scrutiny around Prince Andrew has kept the spotlight on royal affairs. Despite that, Eugenie’s announcement has brought a more positive moment, with attention now turning to the family’s new arrival.
