LONDON - Britain's Princess Eugenie, a niece of King Charles, is expecting her third child with her husband Jack Brooksbank this year, Buckingham Palace said on Monday.

She married Brooksbank at Windsor Castle in 2018, and they have two sons: August, born in February 2021, and Ernest, born in June 2023.

"August (aged 5) and Ernest (aged 2) are also very excited to have another sibling join the family," the palace said in a statement.

It said the king had been informed and was delighted.

Eugenie, 12th in line to the British throne, is the younger daughter of the king's brother, the former Prince Andrew, and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York.
