Princess Eugenie reveals her baby daughter’s name with sweet Queen Elizabeth tribute
Princess Eugenie has revealed her baby daughter’s name, Adelaide Elizabeth Annina Brooksbank, with the names honouring loved ones and the family’s English and Portuguese ties.
Princess Eugenie has announced the name of her newborn daughter, two weeks after welcoming her third child with husband Jack Brooksbank. The infant, named Adelaide Elizabeth Annina Brooksbank, was born on August 3 at a hospital in Lisbon, Portugal. The couple chose the name Adelaide in tribute to three significant people the family admires: Eugenie's late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II; Queen Adelaide, wife of King William IV; and a Portuguese connection through Maria Adelaide of Portugal.
Adelaide's name reflects both English and Portuguese history, places that Eugenie and Jack consider home. The baby joins her brothers, August, 5, and Ernest, 3, and was welcomed by the family with "special, cosy, love-filled" weeks. The name choice has sparked speculation among royal watchers, but Eugenie and Jack have not disclosed which individual the name refers to.
Born in Portugal but with strong ties to the British royal family, Adelaide Elizabeth Annina Brooksbank is the newest member of the family.
