Princess Eugenie to Welcome Royal Baby in Mid-February
Princess Eugenie, the Queen's granddaughter, is preparing to become a mum for the first time in just a few weeks.
According to a Royal Insider, Eugenie will welcome her baby mid-February.
The Princess is now nesting at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Windsor home, Frogmore Cottage.
Eugenie moved back in with her parents at the nearby Royal Lodge over the Christmas break to prepare for her first child.
The Insider claimed that Eugenie and Harry have always been close and chat privately all the time.
It was Harry who suggested she and Jack could use Frogmore Cottage because it is much bigger than their cottage at Kensington Palace.

It is a case of one family member reaching out to another.
Last week, Royal Correspondent Omid Scobie claimed Eugenie and her husband Jack Brookbank have moved into her childhood home, the Royal Lodge in Windsor, before Christmas after spending just six weeks at Harry and Meghan's former home.
The couple spent the Royal Christmas at the Royal Lodge, where Eugenie and her sister Beatrice grew up.
The Royal announced her pregnancy in an Instagram post in September, posting two photographs, one of her holding a gorgeous pair of baby bear booties and another of the couple grinning.
Eugenie broke the news, captioning her snap, Jack and I are so excited for early 2021.
Princess Eugenie's royal baby will be Queen Elizabeth's ninth great-grandchild and Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson's first grandchild.
Eugenie and Brooksbank's child's arrival will shift the line of succession, pushing back two of the Queen's children who are in line to the British throne.
Since Eugenie is currently tenth in line, her baby will become eleventh in line to the throne upon his or her birth.
This also means that the Queen's daughter, Princess Anne, will move from fourteenth to fifteenth place in the line of succession.
The Queen's eldest son, Prince Charles, is currently first in line to the throne, followed by Prince William, second, and his children, Prince George, third, Princess Charlotte, fourth, and Prince Louis, fifth.
It's improbable that Eugenie's children will be born with a royal title because of a letters patent issued by King George V in 1917, which limited the titles of Prince and Princesses to the grandchildren of the sons of any such sovereign in the direct male line, save only the eldest living son of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales.
Jo Little, managing editor of Her Majesty magazine, previously said that the new baby will be protected from the pressures royal life can bring.
Ingrid Stewart, author of Prince Philip Reveals, A Man of His Century, says that Eugenie will want to shield her child and offer as normal a life as possible.
Eugenie and her older sister, Princess Beatrice, have a close relationship with their parents, the Duke and Duchess of York, who divorced in 1996.
They spent most of their time with their mother and are very loyal and loving to her, reveals Ingrid.
Sarah and Andrew didn't seem to fight, but I think the girls were aware that their mother was having a difficult time.
Describing Mother Fergie as an extravagant person, Ingrid explains that Eugenie is quite the opposite.
She won't spoil her child and will want her child to be her friend.
Eugenie M Brooksbank will be expected to participate in several royal traditions upon the birth, including an official photo call, a royal christening ceremony, and royal baby memorabilia.
However, it is unknown how many of these traditions will be affected by the UK's lockdown restrictions.
In conclusion, Princess Eugenie is eagerly awaiting the arrival of her first child, which is set to be a life-changing experience for her.
As a member of the Royal family, her baby's arrival will shift the line of succession, pushing back two of the Queen's children who are in line to the British throne.
Eugenie and Brooksbank's child's arrival will be a joyous occasion for the entire Royal family.
