When Buckingham Palace announced that Princess Eugenie is expecting her third child, royal enthusiasts were filled with joy. However, many couldn't help but notice the absence of a traditional phrase in the statement, stirring curiosity given the recent events surrounding the royal family.

A Look at the Announcement

The official announcement revealed that Eugenie, 36, and her husband Jack Brooksbank are welcoming a new baby this summer, mentioning their two sons, August, 5, and Ernest, 2, who are “excited” about the news. It also confirmed that the King has been informed and is pleased with the upcoming addition to the family. Yet, this statement notably excluded the customary wording that the extended family is “delighted” — a phrase present in previous announcements regarding both Eugenie and her sister.
