A new addition to the royal family will soon be born, becoming 15th in line to the throne. This arrival will result in the Duke of Edinburgh, the baby’s great-uncle, moving to 16th place.
The child will mark the 15th great-grandchild of the late Queen Elizabeth II and the third born since her passing in 2022.
Buckingham Palace shared this news on its social media platform at 10am, which is perceived as a gesture of support for Eugenie, despite the controversies involving her father.
Andrew, the King’s brother, was taken into custody on charges of misconduct in public office in February, linked to his association with Jeffrey Epstein.
Eugenie and her sister Beatrice, who is a mother to Sienna, four, and Athena, one, chose not to attend the traditional royal Easter gathering. This decision was made with the consent of Charles, amid the ongoing issues concerning their father.
