A visibly pregnant Princess Eugenie and her sister Princess Beatrice mingled with Taylor Swift and a roster of A-listers at Poppy Delevingne’s lavish 40th birthday bash in London. The model and socialite marked the milestone with flair, starting at her go-to pub before heading to a high-end hotel after-party, cementing it as one of the year’s top celebrity gatherings.
Star-Packed Guest List Lights Up the Night
Princess Eugenie showcased her baby bump in a sleek black dress paired with a vibrant purple mac, arriving arm-in-arm with her husband, Jack Brooksbank. Princess Beatrice, undeterred by family challenges, beamed alongside her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, as they entered the Hart pub in Marylebone, steps from the iconic Chiltern Firehouse.
Taylor Swift and her NFL star fiancé, Travis Kelce, jetted into the UK for the festivities. Other notable attendees included Georgia May Jagger, Damian Hurley, Princess Maria-Olympia of Greece and Denmark, Archie Keswick, Lily James, Tish Weinstock, Alexa Chung, Jaime Winstone, Laura Bailey, Isla Fisher, Nicky Hilton, Baz Luhrmann, Pixie Geldof, Emma Weymouth, and Hugo Taylor. Poppy, who celebrated her birthday on Sunday, received support from her supermodel sister Cara Delevingne and their prominent family members.
The revelry shifted from the pub’s lively atmosphere to the upscale BoTree hotel near Oxford Street in Soho, where royalty, music icons, and fashion luminaries converged.
Royal Pregnancy Announcement Adds to the Joy
Princess Eugenie recently shared exciting news of her third child, expected in 2026, via an official Buckingham Palace statement. The announcement highlights her continued ties to the royal family. As the younger daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, she ranks 12th in the line of succession, with the new baby set to be 15th, shifting Prince Edward to 16th.
King Charles expressed delight over the news in the statement, which also noted that Eugenie and Jack’s sons, five-year-old August and two-year-old Ernest, eagerly await their new sibling. A family photo posted by Eugenie on Instagram shows the boys holding a baby scan picture, with Ernest in a Chelsea football kit and August in a grey T-shirt. Her caption read: ‘Baby Brooksbank due 2026!’ accompanied by red heart and baby emojis.
The palace statement confirmed: ‘Her Royal Highness Princess Eugenie and Mr Jack Brooksbank are very pleased to announce that they are expecting their third child together, due this summer. August (aged five) and Ernest (aged two) are also very excited to have another sibling join the family. His Majesty The King has been informed and is delighted with the news.’
