Princess Eugenie joyfully welcomes daughter Adelaide Elizabeth Annina Brooksbank, sharing family news and heartfelt details with the public.
Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank announced the birth of their daughter, Adelaide Elizabeth Annina Brooksbank, born earlier this month in Lisbon, Portugal, weighing 6lb 9oz; Eugenie shared the news and photographs on Instagram, saying the name honors three people they admire and reflects English and Portuguese ties.
The baby is the couple’s third child, joining sons August Philip Hawke Brooksbank, born in 2021, and Ernest George Ronnie Brooksbank, born in 2023; Eugenie wrote that the family has enjoyed a cosy, love-filled two weeks since Adelaide’s arrival and posted images including one showing her sons with their newborn sister.
Adelaide, who does not hold a Royal Highness title, is 15th in line to the throne and moves ahead of her great-uncle, the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Edward; Buckingham Palace released a statement saying Their Majesties The King and Queen and other members of the Royal Family were delighted by the news.
The birth adds a third child to Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank’s family and adjusts the line of succession position to 15th for Adelaide, as noted in the palace statement and Eugenie’s announcement; photographs and the Instagram message emphasized family connections and the name’s links to English and Portuguese heritage.
