The palace says, “Her Royal Highness Princess Eugenie and Mr Jack Brooksbank are very pleased to announce that they are expecting their third child together, due this summer.

“August (aged 5) and Ernest (aged 2) are also very excited to have another sibling join the family.”

About the monarch’s excitement, the statement reads, “The King has been informed and is delighted with the news.”

Following this announcement, a royal expert has warned the former Duchess that she has 'no choice' but to take a back seat in her daughters' lives.

Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams told the Daily Express: "This is very happy news and has been welcomed by the King who is known to be extremely fond of his nieces. Sarah Ferguson will undoubtedly be delighted. However, as we saw with Andrew when Athena was christened last December, she will have to keep a low profile. He was not included in the Christening photographs and nor was she."

He went on saying, "There may be possibilities for interviews if she decides to go down that path, but there are no comeback possibilities after recent events.

"Taking a backseat isn't in her nature, but for Eugenie's sake, she has no choice."
