Where she sits in succession

Princess Eugenie is listed 12th in the line of succession and her three children follow, placing baby Adelaide at 15th. The Succession to the Crown Act of 2013 ensures she remains behind her older brothers even if a younger brother is later born.

Family context

The official announcement said Their Majesties The King and Queen were delighted to be informed. The birth comes amid ongoing scrutiny of Eugenie’s father, Prince Andrew, who lost royal honors in October 2025 but remains in the succession; removing him would require an Act of Parliament and consent from the Commonwealth realms. Sources say Eugenie and sister Beatrice are focused on protecting their young families during the controversy.
