The tradition of honoring Queen Elizabeth II through the naming of royal children continues, with several prominent members of the British Royal Family incorporating her name into their children's appellations.

Princess Eugenie's daughter, Adelaide Elizabeth Annina Brooksbank, born on August 3, is the latest royal to be named in honor of her late great-grandmother. Princess Eugenie announced the name on Instagram, stating that the names were chosen from individuals she and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, "love and admire, past and present," with a particular reference to the late Queen.

The name Adelaide was inspired by Queen Adelaide (1792-1849), wife of King William IV. The middle name Elizabeth directly honors the late monarch, and Annina is understood to have a personal connection for the couple. Adelaide is 15th in line to the throne.

Princess Beatrice, King Charles's niece, also honored her late grandmother with the birth of her daughter, Athena Elizabeth Rose Mapelli Mozzi, born on January 22, 2025. Her name, Elizabeth, is a direct tribute, mirroring the middle name given to her elder sister, Sienna Elizabeth Mapelli Mozzi, born in September 2021.

Princess Beatrice has previously spoken of her admiration for Queen Elizabeth II, calling her and her mother, Sarah Ferguson, her role models. The late Queen was reportedly delighted by the news of Sienna's birth.

Beyond middle names, Queen Elizabeth II's childhood nickname, Lilibet, was chosen by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for their daughter, Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, born in June 2021. The use of the nickname, which was once only used by the late Queen's closest family, reportedly caused consternation within the Royal Household, with claims of disagreement over whether the Queen had fully approved its use.

Other members of the Royal Family who have honored the late Queen with the inclusion of 'Elizabeth' in their children's names include:

  • Lena Elizabeth Tindall, daughter of Zara and Mike Tindall.
  • Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana, daughter of the Prince and Princess of Wales.
  • Isla Elizabeth Phillips, daughter of Peter Phillips.
  • Lady Louise Alice Elizabeth Mary Mountbatten-Windsor, granddaughter of the late Queen.
  • Zara Anne Elizabeth Tindall, daughter of Princess Anne.
  • Princess Beatrice Elizabeth Mary, elder daughter of Prince Andrew.
  • Princess Anne Elizabeth Alice Louise, the late Queen's only daughter.
