When it comes to naming a royal baby, every detail carries a piece of history.
Princess Eugenie‘s newest arrival is no exception. Introducing her daughter on Instagram, the royal opened up about the heartfelt inspirations behind the name, including a loving tribute to Queen Elizabeth II that keeps the late monarch’s legacy close to their hearts.
What is The Name of Princess Eugenie’s Baby?
Princess Eugenie delivered her third child with husband Jack Brooksbank on August 3, 2026. This is the couple’s first daughter. They have two sons, August Brooksbank (b. 2021) and Ernest (b. 2023).
The BBC reported that the daughter of Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and Sarah Ferguson delivered her baby in Portugal. The little girl weighed 6 lbs., 9oz.
Buckingham Palace shared a statement regarding the newest addition to the royal family. It read: “Their Majesties The King and Queen and other members of The Royal Family were delighted to be informed of the news.”
In her first post after her daughter’s birth on Instagram, Eugenie wrote: “Jack and I are so excited to announce Baby Girl Brooksbank!! We are beyond in love with our girlie.”
On August 17, the princess and her husband announced their daughter’s name. The deeply personal moniker was revealed on social media.
The post read, “Two weeks ago today we welcomed our girl to the world. And since then we’ve had the most special, cozy and love-filled time.”
Eugenie continued, “We are so happy to share Adelaide Elizabeth Annina Brooksbank. Named after three people we love and admire past and present, including her Great-Grandmother who we hold close in our hearts. Her name is part of English and Portuguese history, two places we love and call home. Augie and Ernie are already the best big brothers.”
Royal Watchers Shared Their Joy
The post has already set social media ablaze with delight. Royal watchers shared their joy at the name reveal in its comments section.
One social media follower wrote, “Congratulations Your Royal Highness and Mr Brooksbank. What a beautiful name to match a beautiful daughter.”
A second penned, “My favorite photo is of the three siblings. May their relationships grow and flourish in the years to come.”
“What a beautiful name for your little girl. May she bring as much joy as her big brothers have done so far. Congratulations,” exclaimed a third fan.
A fourth royal watcher noted, “Such a beautiful name and lovely pictures. I’m sure the late queen is so happy with this wonderful and proper tribute.”
Baby Adelaide will not have a royal title, the BBC reported. She will be 15th in line to the throne, landing one spot ahead of her great-uncle, the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Edward.
The late monarch left behind a remarkable family legacy, officially welcoming 12 great-grandchildren during her lifetime. Princess Eugenie naming her daughter after the late monarch keeps her legacy alive. It also ensures that the next generation of royals continues to carry a direct connection to the beloved sovereign.
