Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank are preparing to welcome their third child this summer.
Royal commentator Jennie Bond has predicted that Eugenie’s parents, Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, are unlikely to feature in official photos released after the baby’s birth, although both grandparents are expected to be eager to meet the new family member.
The couple announced their pregnancy in May with a heartwarming image of their two sons, August, five, and Ernest, two, watching an ultrasound scan of their future sibling.
Buckingham Palace confirmed that King Charles had been informed of the news and was “delighted” by the announcement.
Speaking about the upcoming birth, Bond said it was only natural that both grandparents would want to support Eugenie during such an important time.
“Who wouldn’t want to be involved in the birth and first days of a new grandchild’s life? she said.
“It’s only natural that Fergie, and Andrew too, would want to meet the new arrival and give Eugenie every possible support.”
Despite this, Ms Bond believes any official announcement images will likely focus only on Eugenie, Jack and their newborn.
“I think the couple will post a photo of the new arrival when the time comes, but I certainly don’t expect to see Andrew or Sarah included in that photo,” she said.
