Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank have announced the name of their new baby daughter: Adelaide Elizabeth Annina Brooksbank. The royal couple welcomed their third child just two weeks ago, and now the world knows the thoughtful meaning behind her beautiful name.
Adelaide Elizabeth Annina is a name rich in family history and personal connection. Eugenie shared that the name is a tribute to "three people we love and admire past and present." The 'Elizabeth' in her name is a clear and heartfelt nod to Adelaide's late great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, honoring the beloved monarch.
The name 'Adelaide' is understood to be inspired by Queen Adelaide (1792-1849), who was married to King William IV, as well as Maria Adelaide of Portugal. This choice beautifully reflects both English and Portuguese history, highlighting "two places we love and call home" for Eugenie and Jack. The final part, 'Annina,' holds a special personal connection for the couple, though the specific details have not been revealed.
The new addition to the royal family was born on August 3 in Lisbon, Portugal, weighing 6lb 9oz. This marks a rare occasion for a member of the British royal family to be born overseas, underscoring Eugenie and Jack's connections and home in Portugal. Adelaide joins her older brothers, August (known as Augie) and Ernest (Ernie), making the family a happy party of five.
Princess Eugenie shared her joy on Instagram, writing, "Two weeks ago today we welcomed our girl to the world. And since then we've had the most special, cosy and love-filled time." The announcement was accompanied by a sweet image showing her and one of her sons holding hands with baby Adelaide, sharing this intimate moment with well-wishers worldwide.
