Princess Eugenie Welcomes Daughter Adelaide Brooksbank

Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank welcomed their third child, a daughter named Adelaide Elizabeth Annina Brooksbank, born August 3 in Lisbon weighing 6 pounds 9 ounces. Her name honors three people they admire, including Eugenie’s late grandmother Queen Elizabeth II, and reflects English and Portuguese heritage. Adelaide is 15th in line to the throne, with her older brothers August and Ernest serving as siblings. Buckingham Palace and Eugenie described the moments since the birth as cozy and love-filled, and the couple posted photos of Adelaide with her brothers on social media two weeks after the birth. The naming style follows the family’s practice of private, delayed reveals. Adelaide’s arrival adds to the growing royal family’s public interest and lineage.
