Princess Eugenie Names Daughter Adelaide

Britain's Princess Eugenie has named her newborn daughter Adelaide Elizabeth Annina, who was born on August 3, 2026, at 6:20 pm, at a hospital in Lisbon, Portugal. The baby was born weighing 6 pounds 9 ounces.

Princess Eugenie's daughter is her third child with her husband Jack Brooksbank, and she has two sons, August and Ernest, who are 5 and 3 years old respectively. The baby's name is partially in honor of Princess Eugenie's late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, as well as two other people 'we love and admire past and present'.

The name 'Adelaide' was also inspired by Queen Adelaide (1792-1849), who was married to King William IV, as well as Maria Adelaide of Portugal. The name 'Annina' is the name of a close friend. Princess Eugenie is the younger daughter of the former Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson.

## Why it matters The naming of Princess Eugenie's daughter reflects her English and Portuguese roots, as the family has ties to both countries. The choice of name also ensures that Queen Elizabeth II's legacy lives on, as Princess Eugenie has stated that her daughter's name is part of English and Portuguese history.

Princess Eugenie has expressed her joy at the arrival of her daughter, stating that she and her husband Jack Brooksbank are 'beyond in love' with their new baby. The royal family, including King Charles III, has also welcomed the new addition, with a statement released on the royal family's official Instagram page announcing the baby's arrival.

The new mom of three has shared that her sons, August and Ernest, are already adjusting to their new roles as big brothers, with Princess Eugenie describing the time since the baby's arrival as 'cosy and love-filled'.
