Sarah, Duchess of York and Prince Andrew have shared their joy after their youngest daughter Princess Eugenie welcomed a baby boy on Tuesday 9 February.

Following the news of the birth of Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank's first child, Sarah took to Instagram to like the first official picture.

The royal baby was delivered at The Portland Hospital, close to Eugenie and Jack's current home, Frogmore Cottage in Windsor.

The newborn is the first grandchild for Andrew and Sarah, and the ninth great-grandchild for the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh.

Eugenie and Jack first announced the pregnancy in September 2020, sharing an adorable photo of the Princess holding a pair of teddy bear slippers on Instagram.

The couple married at St George's Chapel in Windsor on 12 October 2018, after dating since 2010.

Speaking to HELLO! in September after their eldest daughter confirmed that she was expecting, Sarah spoke of her and her ex-husband's joy, saying: "Soon to be Grandpa and Granny are absolutely overjoyed."

The palace's formal statement at the time read: "Her Royal Highness Princess Eugenie and Mr Jack Brooksbank are very pleased to announce that they are expecting a baby in early 2021.

"The Duke of York and Sarah, Duchess of York, Mr and Mrs George Brooksbank, The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh are delighted with the news."

Princess Eugenie and Jack's new little bundle of joy is the eleventh-in-line to the throne, which means that Eugenie's uncle Prince Edward will move down to twelfth place. 

However, it's unlikely that Eugenie and Jack's baby will have a royal title, as their children will take their rank from their father.
