It is a boy!
Princess Eugenie, the Queen’s grand-daughter, has given birth to a baby boy.
Even though his mother is a princess, Master Brooksbank will not be an HRH nor hold a title, unless the Queen decides otherwise. This is because he was born down the female line of the Royal Family.
As 11th in line to the throne, the newborn takes the place of the Earl of Wessex, Prince Edward – the Queen’s youngest son – who has moved down to 12th place.
