AS GRANDDAUGHTER to the late Queen Elizabeth, Princess Eugenie enjoys a privileged life.

However, despite being a princess herself, this doesn’t mean that her offspring get the same prestigious title as some of her royal cousins do.

Who are Princess Eugenie’s children?

Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank are parents of two sons. 

The royal gave birth to her first child,  August Philip Hawke Brooksbank, on February 9, 2021. 

The choice of Philip as a middle name pays tribute to Eugenie’s grandfather, the late Prince Philip.

Her second child, Ernest, was born on May 30, 2023.

Eugenie said: “Augie is loving being a big brother already.” 

Why do Princess Eugenie’s children Ernest and August Brooksbank not have official prince titles?

The reason why Eugenie’s children won’t receive titles, while Prince Harry’s son and daughter were bestowed with prince and princess titles, is down to a royal rule.

Only children of the sovereign, children of the sons of the sovereign, and the oldest living son of the Prince of Wales are eligible to receive the HRH status and prince and princess titles.

This means that baby Ernest and his older brother August, being great nephews of King Charles, cannot be granted titles.

This differs from the case of Harry and Meghan’s children who were bestowed with prince and princess titles.

At the time of their birth, they were great-grandchildren of the late Queen Elizabeth II, making them eligible for titles.

As they are now children of a son of a sovereign, they are permitted to use prince and princess titles.

Are Princess Eugenie’s children in line to the throne?

The two boys may not have the title of a prince, but they are still in line to the throne,

August is 12th in line, with Ernest 13th, and their mother Princess Eugenie is 11th.

The throne was passed on to the Queen’s eldest son Charles, who is now King after Her Majesty’s death aged 96. in 2022.

Now Charles is King, his eldest son, Prince William, is heir to the throne, and then his children Prince George, is second in line followed by Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

Prince Harry is fifth in line with son Archie sixth.

Meghan Markle and Harry’s second baby, daughter Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor is seventh in line.

Leading up to Princess Eugenie is her dad, Prince Andrew, who is in eighth place, while her sister Princess Beatrice is 9th, and her daughter Sienna Mapelli Mozzi is in 10th place.
