Another baby in the Windsor house: he is not (for now) the fourth child predicted by the tabloids to William and his wife Kate, in the front row of the succession line to the throne, but the eldest son of cousin Eugenia,
now officially waiting with the consort Jack Brooksbank.
The Royal Family announced the princess's pregnancy through a tweet from Buckingham Palace.
The happy event is scheduled for early 2021. Eugenia is the
daughter of Prince Andrew,
Duke of York - third
son of
Elizabeth II and Philip of Edinburgh -
and Sarah Ferguson
, as well as sister of Beatrice, who recently married the Anglo- Italian Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.
"The Duke of York, Sarah, Duchess of York, Messrs Brooksbank, the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh are delighted with this news," reads the message written on behalf of both spouses' parents and her grandparents.
The unborn child, or the unborn child, will be in 11th place on the list of pretenders to the British throne.
And he will be the ninth great-grandson of 94-year-old Elizabeth after the birth of Archie, eldest son of the Dukes of Sussex, Harry and Meghan.
However, the unknowns of the coronavirus emergency weigh on the celebrations, the tensions triggered in the royal family for the 'flight' to America of Harry and Meghan and above all
the scandal that hit the grandfather of the baby on arrival
: Prince Andrew, already excluded from duties court officers on suspicions of involvement in the Epstein sex scandal.
