Princess Eugenie has revealed her baby name, and it carries several meaningful royal connections.
The 36-year-old royal and Jack Brooksbank welcomed their third child earlier this month. Their daughter has been named Adelaide Elizabeth Annina Brooksbank. The couple waited two weeks before announcing their daughter’s name publicly. Eugenie then shared the news with followers on Instagram.
She described the family as enjoying a special and peaceful time together. The proud mother also revealed that the name honours three people they love. Adelaide has a particularly interesting connection to the Royal Family. The name partly honours Queen Adelaide, the wife of King William IV.
However, the choice also has a modern connection to Prince William and Princess Kate. The couple previously lived at Adelaide Cottage in Windsor. That link gives the baby’s name an unexpected connection with the Prince and Princess of Wales. William and Kate moved into Adelaide Cottage in 2022 with their children.
The Windsor property remains closely associated with their family’s quieter life. Therefore, Eugenie’s choice has attracted attention among royal watchers. The baby’s middle name Elizabeth carries an even more direct family connection. Eugenie confirmed that it honours her late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.
Elizabeth also appears among the names of several younger members of the Royal Family. Princess Beatrice’s daughters both have Elizabeth among their names. Meanwhile, the meaning behind Annina remains less clear. Some royal watchers have suggested a possible connection to Eugenie’s friend Annina Pfuel.
Eugenie has not publicly confirmed the inspiration behind the middle name. The family therefore continues to keep some details surrounding the name private. In her announcement, Eugenie explained the significance behind the three names. She also highlighted the family’s connection to both Britain and Portugal.
The couple currently divides their time between the UK and Portugal. Their life in Portugal has become an important part of their family’s routine. Eugenie gave birth to her daughter in Portugal. The decision reflects the family’s strong connection with the country. Jack established a professional base there after taking a role with Discovery Land Company. His position has allowed the family to spend significant periods in Portugal.
The country has also offered Eugenie a quieter lifestyle away from constant royal attention. She previously explained that she enjoys being able to live more casually there. That freedom has become especially important as the couple raises their young family. Eugenie and Jack already have two sons, August and Ernest.
The brothers now have a baby sister to welcome into the family. Eugenie also revealed that both boys have already embraced their new role. She described August and Ernest as excellent big brothers. The family appears to be enjoying the early days with their newest arrival. Adelaide’s name also reflects Eugenie’s connection to Portuguese history. She said the chosen name connects two places that the family loves.
The announcement gives a glimpse into Eugenie’s personal priorities. Rather than choosing a purely traditional royal name, the couple selected something with several layers of meaning. At the same time, the name remains connected to British royal history. Queen Adelaide’s legacy provides the clearest historical link.
The connection to Adelaide Cottage adds another modern royal detail. It gives the name an unexpected association with William and Kate. For now, the family continues to enjoy life between Portugal and the UK. Their daughter’s arrival marks another important chapter for Eugenie and Jack. Princess Eugenie’s baby name therefore combines history, family and personal connections. Adelaide Elizabeth Annina Brooksbank carries a story that stretches across generations.
