Royal enthusiasts were excited to hear Buckingham Palace's news that Princess Eugenie is expecting her third child. However, the announcement left out a customary phrase that has caught the attention of many, especially in light of current events regarding her father. Here’s what you need to know!

The palace's statement revealed that Eugenie, aged 36, and her husband Jack Brooksbank are looking forward to a new addition this summer. It noted that their sons, August, 5, and Ernest, 2, are 'excited' about becoming older brothers. The message also conveyed that the King has been informed and is pleased with the news.

What stood out, however, was the absence of the typical phrasing indicating that the wider family is 'delighted'—a line that has featured in past announcements for Eugenie and her sister. This significant change has led to speculation among observers.
