CONGRATULATIONS! Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank reveal their daughter’s beautiful name, prompting an outpouring of congratulations from fans.

Princess Eugenie Reveals Newborn Daughter’s Name And Its Touching Link To Queen Elizabeth II

Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank have shared another joyful update following the arrival of their third child, revealing their baby daughter’s full name alongside a series of new family photos.

The couple welcomed their little girl earlier this month after announcing Eugenie’s pregnancy in May.

At the time, Eugenie revealed the news in a particularly sweet way, posting an ultrasound image being held by her two sons, August and Ernest.

Now, two weeks after the birth, the princess has returned to social media with another personal update.

In a post shared on August 17, Eugenie introduced her daughter as Adelaide Elizabeth Annina Brooksbank and explained the sentimental thinking behind each part of the name.

“2 weeks ago today we welcomed our girl to the world,” Eugenie wrote. “And since then we’ve had the most special, cosy and love-filled time.”

She added that the name was chosen in honour of three people whom she and Jack “love and admire past and present,” including a particularly meaningful tribute to her late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.

Eugenie Explains Meaning Behind Daughter’s Name

The middle name Elizabeth provides the clearest royal connection.

Queen Elizabeth II, Eugenie’s grandmother, passed away in September 2022, and Eugenie made clear that the late monarch remains an important presence in the family’s memory.

“Named after three people we love and admire past and present, including her Great-Grandmother who we hold close in our hearts,” Eugenie wrote.

The princess also explained that her daughter’s name carries a wider connection to the family’s life in both Britain and Portugal.

“Her name is part of English and Portuguese history, two places we love and call home,” she said.

Eugenie also shared how quickly August and Ernest had embraced their new roles.

“Augie and Ernie are already the best big brothers,” she added.

The new pictures gave royal followers another glimpse of the latest addition to the Brooksbank family.

They included photographs of the newborn sleeping as well as moments featuring her older brothers.

It was the first time Eugenie had publicly shared her daughter’s full name after the Royal Family announced the birth earlier this month.

Royal Family Previously Announced Baby’s Arrival

The Royal Family’s official Instagram account confirmed the birth shortly after Adelaide arrived.

The announcement was accompanied by a photograph showing the newborn lying on her stomach in a pink outfit while appearing to hold onto someone’s finger.

According to the Palace statement, Eugenie gave birth on Monday, August 3, 2026, at 6.20pm at a hospital in Lisbon, Portugal.

The baby weighed 6lb 9oz.

The statement also confirmed that King Charles, Queen Camilla and other members of the Royal Family had been informed and were delighted by the news.

The birth made Eugenie and Jack parents for the third time.

Their eldest son August is five, while Ernest is two.

The couple had previously confirmed that both boys were excited about welcoming another sibling.

The decision for Eugenie to give birth in Portugal reflects the family’s current lifestyle.

Eugenie and Jack have divided their time between Britain and Portugal since 2022.

Their move was linked to Jack’s work with property businessman Mike Meldman.

Rather than relocating permanently away from the UK, the family has continued maintaining connections with both countries.

Eugenie has previously spoken warmly about the greater sense of privacy she enjoys while living in Portugal.

Why Portugal Has Become Important To Eugenie

During an appearance on the Table Manners podcast in 2023, Eugenie described Portugal as an ideal place for her family.

She said one of the things she particularly appreciated was being able to go about everyday life without attracting the same level of attention she might receive elsewhere.

“This is why Portugal is the dream,” she said, explaining that she could go to the supermarket dressed casually without worrying about being noticed.

That connection now appears to have influenced the choice of her daughter’s name as well.

Eugenie specifically noted that Adelaide Elizabeth Annina reflects both English and Portuguese history.

That gives the name a connection not only to past generations of the family, but also to the two countries the Brooksbanks currently call home.

Eugenie Announced Pregnancy Earlier This Year

The first sign that the family was expanding came in May.

After taking a break from Instagram, Eugenie returned with a simple pregnancy announcement showing August and Ernest holding an ultrasound image.

“Baby Brooksbank due 2026!” she wrote.

The post quickly attracted messages of congratulations from royal followers.

Buckingham Palace also issued a formal statement confirming that Eugenie and Jack were expecting their third child during the summer.

The Palace said August and Ernest were “very excited” about having another sibling and confirmed that King Charles had been informed.

The pregnancy was followed relatively quietly after that announcement.

Eugenie did not share constant updates, making the birth announcement — and now the revelation of the baby’s name — particularly significant for those following the family.

Adelaide’s Arrival Changes The Royal Line Of Succession

The birth also created a small shift in the order of succession.

Adelaide has become 15th in line to the British throne.

That moves Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburgh, down one position to 16th.

She is also the 15th great-grandchild of the late Queen Elizabeth II.

For Eugenie’s parents, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson, Adelaide becomes their fifth grandchild.

The succession change, however, is likely to be far less important to Eugenie and Jack than the personal significance of welcoming their first daughter.

The princess’s latest message focused almost entirely on family life, the meaning behind the name and the bond already forming between Adelaide and her brothers.

Two weeks after bringing her daughter home, Eugenie described the period as “special, cosy and love-filled.”

And by choosing Elizabeth as one of Adelaide’s middle names, she has ensured that the memory of Queen Elizabeth II remains woven directly into another generation of the family.
