The former Duchess has kept silent on calls to give evidence to US lawmakers on her Epstein links.

Amid this development, Sarah’s younger daughter has announced that she is expecting her third child.

Taking to social media she announced “Baby Brooksbank due 2026!” followed by numerous heart emoticons.

Palace, on behalf of King Charles, also shared the exciting news on social media saying: “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.

“His Majesty The King has been informed and is delighted with the news.”

Meanwhile, Sarah Ferguson who shared a heartfelt message after Eugenie announced her second pregnancy, has not yet reacted publicly to the news.

However, fans are expecting she would return to UK to spend time with her daughters.

On the other hand, a royal expert believes Sarah Ferguson won’t return to Britain in near future.

Royal expert Rob Shuter has claimed Eugenie’s mother, Sarah Ferguson, is not expected to rush back to the U.K.

“She’s extremely cautious about returning right now,” a source says. “There are concerns about potential legal exposure, and she’s not taking risks.”
