The child will be the twelfth great-grandchild of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, and eleventh in the line of succession.

It will be the second grandchild for the Duke and Duchess of York as her sister, Princess Eugenie, gave birth to a son, August Philip Hawke Brooksbank, on 9 February 2021.
