Watch: Princess Eugenie ‘so excited’ to be pregnant with second child
Princess Eugenie has announced she is pregnant with her second child.
Prince Andrew's daughter revealed on social media that she's expecting a baby "this summer" with husband Jack Brooksbank.
The couple, who wed in 2018 at Windsor Castle, welcomed a son, August, in February 2021.
In an announcement on Instagram, the 32-year-old royal shared a photo of August kissing her baby bump during a country walk.
"We’re so excited to share that there will be a new addition to our family this summer," she captioned the image.
The picture – taken by her 36-year-old businessman husband – has already received more than 15,000 'likes', with many royal fans leaving messages of congratulations.
These included her older sister Princess Beatrice's husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi who commented with 'love heart' emojis.

Buckingham Palace confirmed the happy news that King Charles III's niece is expecting.
A statement read: "The family are delighted and August is very much looking forward to being a big brother."
The baby will become the 13th in line to the British throne after their older sibling and ahead of their grandfather's brother Prince Edward – and they will be referred to as a plain Master or Miss.
The princess – who is the daughter of the late Queen's son Prince Andrew and his former wife Sarah, Duchess of York – gave birth to her first child at the Portland Hospital in London.

During an interview at the World Economic Forum in Davos, which took place last week, the princess said that she was raising her son, almost two years old, to be an "activist" for climate change.
She revealed to Reuters that motherhood had "totally changed" her view on the environment and that "every decision" is now for him.
