The Context Behind the Change

The adjustment in wording coincides with renewed scrutiny surrounding Prince Andrew, Eugenie's father. Recently arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office linked to the investigation over his association with Jeffrey Epstein, Andrew has consistently denied any wrongdoing. His past repercussions included losing military roles and patronages, and the removal of his princely title.

It's important to underline that being named in this ongoing scrutiny does not entail any legal implications for Eugenie or her family members. Despite the surrounding inquiries, the palace has reassured that Eugenie's royal position remains unchanged. The newborn will be placed in the line of succession, anticipated to rank approximately 15th once born, following Eugenie and her two sons.
