Princess Eugenie is preparing to give birth to her first child and the mystery still reigns. The birth is scheduled for February 2021 and the news has delighted the British, who are trying to guess the name of the future baby. Eugenie of York, 30, announced her pregnancy earlier this year, alongside her husband of two years Jack Brooksbank. In an Instagram post, they unveiled an adorable pair of slippers to announce the happy event.
The bookmakers have bet on two very classic first names in the royal sphere: Arthur and Grace. Alice also tops the list, in tribute to Eugenie’s great-grandmother, Alice de Battenberg. Family members often opt for traditional first names, with historical significance such as Charles, William or even Eugenie, all of which are ancestor names of the British royal family. Victoria and Arabella also feature in bets for names of girls, while James, Fredrick and Edward follow closely for boys. When the good news was announced in September, the punters had bet everything on the name Victoria, before changing their minds.
An ordinary childhood
According to a source quoted by the magazine “ People “, It could be that the royal couple brings up their child in discretion and according to a flexible education:” Eugenie is such a fun person but very caring too “, she declared. “I think she will be more of a bohemian mother, much like her mother, while Jack will be calm and relaxed. », Explains this close. The new baby will be Prince Andrew’s first grandchild and Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip’s ninth great-grandchild. However, Eugenie and Jack prefer to live an existence far from the media, even if it means refusing the royal title for their baby. Indeed, the princess’s husband did not receive a royal title at their wedding in 2018. The future baby could only bear his father’s name, even if the queen agrees to give him a title. Eugenie’s main desire is simple: for her baby to have an ordinary life.
