Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank have been living in Portugal with their two sons, August and Ernest, since 2022, and they appear set to remain in their sunny European abode amid their baby bubble with their new daughter.
The couple welcomed a baby girl weighing six pounds nine ounces at a hospital in Lisbon, Portugal, on 3 August.
The doting mother, who had previously welcomed her two sons at the Portland Hospital near their Ivy Cottage home in the UK, gushed on Instagram: “Jack and I are so excited to announce Baby Girl Brooksbank!! We are beyond in love with our girlie.”
Take a look inside their family home where Eugenie and Jack are raising their three young children away from the royal spotlight…
Inside the beachfront location

Mike Meldman’s business, Discovery Land Company, explained the benefits of the picturesque location in its own magazine.
“This stretch of European coast is indeed pristine – and it will remain precisely this way,” the article reads. In terms of the home designs, the “architectural aesthetic reflects a modern interpretation of the regional style, with farmhouse influences and porches and rooftop terraces that encourage outdoor living”.

“The project was initially undertaken by a Portuguese family, but after their patriarch’s passing, they decided to sell. The family’s permitted plans called for a golf course, 350 homes, and a hotel,” the brand’s magazine explained.
The beachfront neighbourhood comes with incredible vistas of the sand and sea, and there are strict regulations to protect privacy in the area. This is likely a big draw for celebrity clientele, with designer Christian Louboutin and Formula 1 star Max Verstappen choosing to buy in nearby Pinheirinho, Comporta.
According to the neighbouring resort’s website: “Pinheirinho is the place where landscape and lifestyle blend in peace, from the golden coastline to the towering pines.”
It added that in the “extraordinary” area, “you want for nothing.”
Inside Eugenie and Jack’s private family home

In photos shared to Instagram, Ayda posed with Eugenie in front of a large wrought-iron gate, before picturing her son Charlie and daughter Coco playing golf and enjoying a walk along the beach.

“They love swimming,” the 36-year-old revealed about her two boys during an exclusive interview with HELLO!. “The sea in Portugal’s a little bit rougher, so we’ve got our feet in, but Augie is a fish. He literally loves it and we have whales and dolphins all across the walls.”
As Eugenie’s little girl grows up, it’s likely she will be introduced to the beach lifestyle alongside her brothers.
Eugenie remains under the spotlight in the UK, especially over the past year when her parents were evicted from Royal Lodge over their connections with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, and Andrew’s arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office while serving as the UK’s trade envoy.

On the ‘Table Manners’ podcast in 2023, Eugenie said living in Portugal is “the dream.” She added: “I can go to the supermarket in my exercise gear and my hair piled on my head and not mind. Not care. No one cares.”
