A post from the Royal Family’s account on Twitter said: “Her Royal Highness Princess Eugenie and Mr Jack Brooksbank are very pleased to announce that they are expecting a baby in early 2021.

Princess Eugenie’s engagement ring struck fans when it was first revealed with it’s startling similarity to her mother’s ring from Prince Andrew.

Sarah Ferguson was famously given a red ruby, inspired by her hair, ringed in diamonds.

HRH Princess Eugenie of York was given a rare “lotus blossom” sapphire, which an expert has valued at around £7,000 – modest for a royal ring.

The light pink ring is an oval cut, flanked by diamonds and set on a gold band.
