Royal fans rejoiced when Buckingham Palace announced that Princess Eugenie is expecting her third child. However, many were quick to notice the absence of a customary family sentiment in the statement, sparking discussions among watchers and commentators alike. Dive into the details of this intriguing royal news!

What the Palace Shared

The concise announcement revealed that Eugenie, 36, and her husband Jack Brooksbank are looking forward to welcoming a new addition this summer. Their sons, August, 5, and Ernest, 2, are said to be “excited” about the new sibling. The statement also confirmed that the King has been informed and is pleased with the news.

A Notable Omission

What raised eyebrows, however, was the lack of the phrase indicating that the wider family is “delighted,” a sentiment typically included in previous announcements related to Eugenie and her sister. This change in wording has not gone unnoticed, particularly given the current circumstances surrounding Prince Andrew, Eugenie's father.
