Could the new royal be King one day?
As it stands, it appears unlikely Princess Eugenie and Jack’s new son will be King one day.
Eugenie and Jack’s child will shift the line of succession, pushing back two of the Queen’s children who are currently in line.
Since Eugenie is currently 10th in line, her baby will come after her, making it unlikely he will ever be the King of the UK and Commonwealth countries.
The only way that could happen is if everyone before him is wiped out before they are able to take the monarchy, which is undoubtedly an unlikely event.

Eugenie and husband Jack Brooksbank are used to living in secure properties that afford them the highest personal protection. Over the last year the newly married couple have spent time living in a number of different properties. They have at various times resided at Ivy Cottage in Kensington Palace, with Princess Eugenie s parents at the Royal Lodge and of course at Frogmore Cottage.
