Eugenie was born at the same hospital as her son. Meghan Markle also gave birth to her first child, Archie Harrison , at The Portland Hospital in 2019.
Buckingham Palace announced the arrival of Eugenie’s son on Tuesday with a statement that read: “Her Royal Highness Princess Eugenie was safely delivered of a son today, 9th February 2021, at 0855hrs at The Portland Hospital. Jack Brooksbank was present. The baby weighs 8lbs 1oz.”

Eugenie and Jack’s son is Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip’s ninth great-grandchild, and Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson’s first grandchild.
Prior to her grandson’s arrival, the Duchess of York told Us Weekly that Eugenie will be a “great mother.” “Having not had my own mother around, I’ve always been determined to be a very present mother with my children, and I know Eugenie will be the same with hers,” Sarah said. “[Eugenie] is incredibly empathetic and will be a great mother. She is a very strong and determined person, always looking for the truth in all she does.”
