Princess Eugenie Reveals Baby Daughter’s Name as Adelaide Elizabeth Annina Brooksbank

August and Ernest

Princess Eugenie has revealed the name of her newborn daughter, sharing tender photographs of baby Adelaide meeting her two older brothers for the first time.

The 36-year-old royal announced on Instagram that her daughter is named Adelaide Elizabeth Annina Brooksbank, two weeks after welcoming her into the world.

“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,” Eugenie wrote.

The carefully chosen name carries tributes to “three people we love and admire” and reflects both English and Portuguese heritage.

The meaning behind Adelaide’s name

The name Adelaide is thought to honour two women with royal connections.

It is believed to reference Queen Adelaide, the wife of King William IV, as well as Maria Adelaide of Portugal.

Elizabeth has a more personal significance for Eugenie, serving as a tribute to her late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.

Together, the names give Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank’s daughter a name rooted in both family history and royal heritage.

Adelaide meets her big brothers

Alongside the announcement, Eugenie posted several intimate photographs showing her sons, five-year-old August and three-year-old Ernest, meeting their baby sister.

In the first image, the two boys gathered around Adelaide as she lay beside a toy in a onesie.

Eugenie proudly described them as already being “the best big brothers”.

Another photograph focused on the hands of Adelaide, Ernest and Eugenie clasped together, capturing a quiet moment between mother and children.

A third image showed newborn Adelaide wrapped snugly in a pale blue blanket.

The photographs quickly drew an enthusiastic response from royal fans, with thousands of people commenting on the baby’s arrival and the meaning behind her name.

“Such a beautiful name and lovely pictures,” one fan wrote.

Another commented: “Augie, Ernie and Adie? Lovely sibset.”

A third added: “What a beautiful name to match a beautiful daughter.”

Baby Adelaide was born on Monday, August 3, in Lisbon, Portugal.

She weighed six pounds nine ounces and was born at 6.20pm local time.

Her arrival makes her just the third member of the British Royal Family to have been born on foreign soil in more than a hundred years.

Eugenie first announced her pregnancy in May, sharing an Instagram photograph of August and Ernest. In the image, August wore a grey long-sleeved top while Ernest was dressed in a Chelsea kit, with the boys proudly displaying a baby scan.

Now, with Adelaide’s name and the first photographs of the siblings together revealed, the family has offered royal fans a glimpse into their first weeks as a family of five.
