Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank became first-time parents when they welcomed their newborn son earlier this week.
While their baby news is a cause for celebration, the arrival has meant a shift in the line of succession to the throne - particularly for her uncle the Earl of Wessex and his children James, Viscount Severn and Lady Louise Windsor.

The royal baby, who was born on 9 February, is now 11th in line to the throne. The Queen's youngest son Prince Edward, who was third in line when he was born in 1964, has moved down to 12th place in the line of succession.

Buckingham Palace said in a statement: "The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh, The Duke of York, Sarah, Duchess of York, and Mr and Mrs George Brooksbank have been informed and are delighted with the news." The message continued: "Her Royal Highness and her child are both doing well."
The royal baby is the first grandchild for Prince Andrew and Sarah, Duchess of York, and the ninth great-grandchild for the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh.
