Princess Eugenie just confirmed that she’s pregnant with her first child.
On her Instagram account, Princess Eugenie shared an adorable photo of a pair of baby shoes.
“Jack and I are so excited for early 2021…” she captioned the photo.
Shortly after, Sarah Ferguson released a statement expressing her excitement over Princess Eugenie’s pregnancy news.
“I am so excited by the news that Eugenie and Jack are expecting their first child. Thrilled for them both and in my 60th year cannot wait to be a grandmother. Welcoming a new baby into the York family is going to be a moment of profound joy,” she wrote.
Last week, the Duchess of York also shared a video of herself reading one of her books as part of the Story Time with Fergie and Friends series.
“Are you ready for all those Nannas, out there? Grannies, Grandpas, Nannas, and everybody out there — isn't it exciting,” she said.
Queen Elizabeth also released a statement via the palace. An insider revealed that the monarch and Prince Philip are delighted over the news.
“Her Royal Highness Princess Eugenie and Mr. Jack Brooksbank are very pleased to announce that they are expecting a baby in early 2021. The Duke of York and Sarah, Duchess of York, Mr. and Mrs. George Brooksbank, The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh are delighted with the news,” the palace said in a statement.
Meanwhile, Princess Eugenie and Brooksbank have yet to reveal the gender of their unborn child. But eagle-eyed netizens are convinced that the couple’s friend, Ellie Goulding already dropped a telling clue.
Goulding commented on Princess Eugenie’s post by congratulating her and Brooksbank on their pregnancy news. The singer also included a blue heart emoji at the end of her message.
According to Express, this is a telling sign that Princess Eugenie could be pregnant with a baby boy. However, the confirmation has yet to be made by the royal couple.
Princess Eugenie and Brooksbank have been married for almost two years before they became pregnant with their first child. Prior to the announcement, there were rumors suggesting that Princess Eugenie delayed her pregnancy so she and her sister, Princess Beatrice could enjoy the journey together.
A tabloid previously claimed that Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie had a pregnancy pact to get pregnant together and to raise their children to be very close in age.
