What happened
Two weeks after welcoming their daughter in Lisbon, Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank shared her full name on social media. The baby, born on August 3, 2026, has been named Adelaide Elizabeth Annina Brooksbank. The announcement included a touching message about the joy and togetherness the family has experienced since her arrival.
Their daughter Adelaide joins older brothers August and Ernest at home. Eugenie highlighted that Adelaide’s name is a tribute to three people dear to the family, connecting past and present loved ones as well as two nations the couple holds close—the United Kingdom and Portugal.
Why it feels good
The choice of 'Adelaide' symbolizes a bridge between royal history and personal affection. It honors Queen Adelaide, a 19th-century British queen consort known for her compassion and cultural contributions, while also reflecting Portuguese connections through Princess Maria Adelaide of Braganza and the revered Maria Adelaide saint.
The inclusion of 'Elizabeth' pays homage to the late Queen Elizabeth II, a nod to enduring respect and family continuity. Meanwhile, 'Annina' offers a more intimate touch, representing grace and possibly a dear personal connection, enriching the name with warmth beyond formal lineage.
