"I am so excited by the news that Eugenie and Jack are expecting their first child," Sarah wrote on Instagram at the time of the announcement. "Thrilled for them both and in my 60th year cannot wait to be a grandmother. Welcoming a new baby into the York family is going to be a moment of profound joy."

When the baby is born, Sarah will become a grandmother for the first time!
