Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank have welcomed their third child, a daughter named Adelaide Elizabeth Annina Brooksbank. The announcement came two weeks after the baby's arrival on August 4th in Lisbon, where she was born weighing 2.8 kilograms.
Our girl arrived two weeks ago. Since then we have been enjoying quiet family moments filled with love.
Adelaide's name carries a dual heritage, drawing from English and Portuguese history. It is partly inspired by Queen Adelaide, wife of King William IV, and Portuguese historical figures named Maria Adelaide. Eugenie noted that the name honors individuals she loves and admires from both past and present, reflecting the family's connection to both England and Portugal, places they consider home.
The middle name Elizabeth is a tribute to Eugenie's late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II. The name Annina is believed to hold personal significance for the family. Eugenie shared photos on Instagram showing the baby wrapped in a light blue blanket and meeting her older brothers, August and Ernest, who she described as "the best big brothers."
Augie and Ernie are already the best big brothers.
The new arrival will not hold a royal highness title and is 15th in line to the British throne, ahead of her great-uncle, Prince Edward. The news of the birth was confirmed by Buckingham Palace in May, with King Charles reportedly delighted by the happy news.
The name is given after three people we love and admire, from past and present, and among them is her great-grandmother whom we keep in our hearts. The name is part of English and Portuguese history, two places we love and consider home.
