This change in phrasing hasn't gone unnoticed, especially during a time when Prince Andrew, Eugenie’s father, is under fresh scrutiny. The former duke was arrested in February on charges of misconduct tied to an ongoing investigation related to Jeffrey Epstein, which has placed him in a spotlight of controversy. Although Andrew maintains his innocence, the repercussions have been significant, leading to the loss of his military titles and royal patronages in 2022, along with the removal of his princely title.

It’s crucial to clarify that neither Eugenie nor any other family members have been implicated in these allegations. The palace has assured that Eugenie's royal status remains intact. Once the baby arrives, the child will be positioned in the line of succession, following Eugenie and her two sons, expected to be approximately 15th in line for the throne.
