Fans cheered when Buckingham Palace confirmed Princess Eugenie is expecting her third child, but many noticed the statement skipped a familiar family line — a detail that raised eyebrows given recent headlines. Read on to discover the full story!

What the palace said — and didn't

The brief release said Eugenie, 36, and husband Jack Brooksbank are expecting a baby this summer and noted sons August, 5, and Ernest, 2, are “excited.” It also added that the King has been told and is pleased. Crucially, the update omitted the usual mention that the wider families are “delighted,” phrasing that appeared in prior pregnancy notices for Eugenie and her sister.
