Princess Eugenie Marks 8th Anniversary with Heartfelt Tribute to Husband and Baby Adelaide
The royal shared a touching video of Jack Brooksbank with their newborn daughter, celebrating their wedding anniversary and new family life.
Princess Eugenie recently shared an adorable video clip of her husband, Jack Brooksbank, cradling their newborn daughter, Adelaide, to commemorate their eighth wedding anniversary.
The video, posted on Instagram, offered a rare glimpse into the royal's family life. Eugenie paid tribute to Brooksbank, calling him the 'best Dada' to their three children.
In the heartwarming footage, Brooksbank is seen gently holding and soothing baby Adelaide, who was born in Portugal in August. Eugenie shared a snippet of their conversation, noting Brooksbank asking their daughter if she liked her head being massaged in a particular way, highlighting his thoughtfulness.
This marks the couple's first anniversary since welcoming their third child, Adelaide Elizabeth Annina Brooksbank, who joins older brothers August, five, and Ernest, three.
Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank were married on October 12, 2018, in a ceremony at St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle. The couple first met in Switzerland in 2010 and have since divided their time between Britain and Portugal due to Brooksbank's work.
Their youngest daughter was born on August 3 in Lisbon. Her name, Adelaide Elizabeth Annina Brooksbank, is a tribute to people the couple 'love and admire, past and present,' including her great-grandmother. The name also reflects connections to English and Portuguese history.
Princess Eugenie noted that her sons, August and Ernest, are already doting big brothers to their new sister.
The name Elizabeth is a clear tribute to Eugenie's late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II. Adelaide is believed to reference Queen Adelaide, wife of King William IV, and Santa Maria Adelaide of Portugal. Annina's significance remains personal to the couple.
Interestingly, the name Adelaide also holds sentimental value related to the couple's wedding day. Eugenie wore diamond wheat-ear brooches in her hair at their reception, which were originally commissioned for Queen Adelaide.
Princess Eugenie's new daughter is 15th in line to the throne. She is also the fifth grandchild of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson.
