More royals set to follow in Harry and Meghan's footsteps
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may soon be welcoming more royals in their hometown of Montecito in the US, with reports Harry's cousin Princess Eugenie and husband Jack Brooksbank are considering the move.
Eugenie, 32, is expecting her second child, a sibling for son August who turns two on February 9.
Harry and Eugenie have always been close, growing up together in the UK. Eugenie has previously lived and worked in the US when she was based in New York from 2013 until 2015 before returning home.

She and her family lived in Harry and Meghan's home Frogmore Cottage in Windsor for a short time following the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's resignation as senior working royals but recently moved to a cottage on the grounds of Kensington Palace.

If Eugenie were to make the move to the US it she and Brooksbanks would pay for it themselves as they are not fulltime working members of the royal family. This means she doesn't receive a regular income from the crown.

Brooksbank works in marketing and Eugenie works in the art industry.
Princess Eugenie shared the news she was expecting her second child in a sweet social media post that featured her son August. The baby's due date is mid-2023.
Harry and Meghan were likely among the first royals to learn that Princess Eugenie was pregnant, according to a royal expert.
Eugenie's mother Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, was among the first royals to congratulate the happy couple on social media, but she may not have been the first to know.

"The Duke and Duchess of Sussex would have been amongst the first to hear the news of Eugenie's pregnancy," royal expert Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief of Majesty Magazine, told The Mirror.
