It's been nearly two years since Eugenie and Jack wed at St George's Chapel, in Windsor Castle, in October 2018.

The baby will be the first grandchild for the Duke of York and Sarah, Duchess of York, and it will also be The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh's ninth grandchild. The baby will likely be 11th in line to the throne when it is born.

Eugenie and Jack's baby will be the latest addition to the Royal family, which has been steadily growing over the past few years.

Last year, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex welcomed baby Archie in May, and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge welcomed Prince Louis in April 2018.
