Eugenie and Jack’s baby was born at 08:55am on Tuesday, and weighed in at 8lbs 1oz. Delivered at Portland Hospital in central London, sources close to Eugenie believe she will reject any offer for her son to claim a royal title.

Those close to the royal claimed Eugenie considers royal titles to be a “curse”.

One insider told Vanity Fair the Princess wants her children to have “ordinary lives” away from the Royal Family.

The source, believed to be a family friend, added titles “don’t matter” to Eugenie and Jack and the couple only want a ‘happy healthy child”.

They said last year: “Eugenie knows that a title can be a curse as well as a blessing and she and Jack want their child to live an ordinary life and eventually work to earn a living.”

Royal titles are typically passed down along the male family line, meaning Eugenie’s son would not receive one by birth right.

Queen Elizabeth II could decide to grant the baby boy a title but only by giving Jack an earldom or issuing a Letters Patent amending the rules.

Royal commentator Rachel Bowie said on the Royally Obsessed podcast: “They’ve declined. The Queen offered Jack a title when they got married but he said no then.

“I feel like that trend is going to continue with the baby.”

Another royal insider suggested Eugenie and Princess Beatrice want to step out of the royal spotlight after their father Prince Andrew’s controversies.

They said: “Although Andrew was always pushing for them to have more royal responsibilities, all Bea and Eug have ever really wanted is to live their own lives, while supporting the Queen when the need arises.

“In many ways, what has happened with their father has finally settled the debate over their future.

“It actually makes life a little easier for them.”
