Is another royal baby arriving? Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, is all set to be a grandmother.
Her daughters, Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice, are at the right ages to have their babies with their respective partners, Jack Brooksbank and Edo Mapelli Mozzi. But while there are no official announcements just yet, the Duchess of York's recent online activities suggest she's anticipating some baby news soon, per New Idea.
During an appearance on The One Show, the Duchess of York openly talked about being a grandma. She said that she can't wait to share the children's book she wrote to her future grandchildren. Fergie said that Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice are equally thrilled as well.
Princess Eugenie was the first of her daughters to get married in 2018. Princess Beatrice was also set to marry on May 29 but she and her fiancé Edo had to postpone their wedding plans since large gatherings are not permitted during this pandemic crisis. The royal pair haven't made public any changes to their wedding but Princess Beatrice and Edo have been isolating together at the home of Edo's mother.
Princess Eugenie, on the other hand, has been staying at the Royal Lodge with her parents. The Duchess of York said in a podcast interview that she and Princess Eugenie have been baking together and bonding just like when her daughter was a little girl. However, she also misses Princess Beatrice's company, who can't make visits often since movements have to be limited, as per the government's guidelines to stop the spread of coronavirus.
Meanwhile, bookmakers have been saying that Princess Eugenie's odds of a baby announcement have been increasing since this lockdown period. A Ladbrokes spokesperson said that punters have been putting their money on the younger York princess as the next to give birth in the royal family.
In 2019, royal experts said that Princess Eugenie and Jack want to start a family "as soon as they can." Amid this public health crisis, however, the couple have been more focused on helping out and delivering care packages to the frontline workers of the NHS.
Princess Beatrice, on the other hand, may have been disappointed about her wedding's postponement. But the Duchess of York said her daughter isn't stressing over rescheduling her wedding plans because there's a bigger problem to deal with - the pandemic. Fergie said that Princess Beatrice is happy regardless of the postponement since she has the love of Edo and that's all that matters.
