Princess Eugenie announces baby girl name with a tribute to Queen Elizabeth
London, August 17
Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank were blessed with their third child, a baby girl, on August 3.
On Monday, the couple revealed that they have named their daughter Adelaide Elizabeth Annina Brooksbank.
Princess Eugenie shared her daughter's name in a new post on her personal Instagram page, featuring three new images of her daughter, including one of the newborn with big brothers August Philip Hawke, 5, and Ernest George Ronnie, 3, as per PEOPLE.
"2 weeks ago today we welcomed our girl to the world. And since then we've had the most special, cosy and love-filled time," Eugenie wrote.
"We are so happy to share Adelaide Elizabeth Annina Brooksbank," she continued.
"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," Eugenie added, nodding to the baby girl's birthplace in Lisbon.
"Augie and Ernie are already the best big brothers," Eugenie concluded.
Queen Elizabeth II, whose historic 70-year reign made her Britain's longest-reigning monarch before her death in 2022, has inspired the names of several of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Her granddaughter Princess Beatrice, sister of Princess Eugenie, shares the middle name Elizabeth with their cousins Zara Tindall and Lady Louise Windsor.
Among Queen Elizabeth's great-grandchildren, Elizabeth is part of the names of Princess Charlotte, Lena Tindall, Sienna Mapelli Mozzi and Athena Mapelli Mozzi. In addition, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle named their 5-year-old daughter Lilibet, after Queen Elizabeth's childhood nickname, and call her by the nickname Lili.
