Buckingham Palace also confirmed the birth of the couple's third child; she joins sons August and Ernest.
The new arrival marks the fifth grandchild for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson, placing her 15th in the line of succession to the British throne.
Royal sources confirmed the baby will not carry the HRH title.
The couple maintains a family home at the CostaTerra Golf and Ocean Club in Comporta, Portugal, where Jack Brooksbank accepted a marketing executive position with Discovery Land Company in 2022.
The newborn is only the second royal in a century not born in the UK.
The baby wore clothing from Princess Marie-Chantal of Greece's children's range.
Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank have not yet revealed the baby's name.
A photograph released by the couple shows Jack Brooksbank, identifiable by his wedding band on his ring finger and a signet ring on his pinky finger.
Princess Beatrice's husband, Edo Mapelli Mozzi, left a message on Eugenie's Instagram post.
One author claims Princess Eugenie gave birth in Portugal to distance herself from her father, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, and to avoid scrutiny over who pays for her London residence at Kensington Palace's Ivy Cottage, which has three bedrooms.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is now isolated and in exile at Sandringham; Sarah Ferguson has reportedly done an impressive disappearing act, with only one picture seen at a luxury resort in Switzerland.
August, the couple's son, was reportedly named after Queen Victoria's husband Prince Albert, and also incorporates a tribute to Eugenie's grandfather Prince Philip.
