Princess Eugenie marked her eighth wedding anniversary with Jack Brooksbank by posting a video on Instagram of him holding their newborn daughter. The Princess Eugenie Jack Brooksbank anniversary post gave a rare look at the family’s third child, Adelaide Elizabeth Annina Brooksbank, and drew attention to the couple’s growing household.
The video shows Brooksbank cuddling the baby, rubbing her head and rocking her from side to side while Eugenie wrote: “Happy 8 years married my love. What you can't hear in this video is Jack asking our daughter if she likes her head being massaged that way... so thoughtful, caring, and best Dada there is to our 3. Couldn't have wished for a better partner.”
August 3 in Lisbon
Princess Eugenie and Brooksbank welcomed Adelaide on August 3 in Lisbon, Portugal. The birth was described as a rare occasion for a member of the British royal family to be born overseas, and the couple now have three children together.
The post also follows an earlier message Eugenie shared on Father’s Day in June, when she posted pictures of Brooksbank holding their sons’ hands and wrote: “Happy Father's Day to the best there is.. chief child entertainer for besties wedding too. The boys couldn't ask for a better Dada.”
Adelaide’s name tribute
Eugenie said Adelaide’s name was a tribute to three people they love and admire past and present, and that it also reflects both English and Portuguese history. That leaves one part of the naming choice unresolved: the middle name Annina has not been tied to a specific person in the available details, even though the name points to family and historical references.
Eugenie and Brooksbank married in 2018 at St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle, and their family has since included August Philip Hawke Brooksbank, born in 2021 in London, and Ernest George Ronnie Brooksbank, born in 2023. For readers following the family’s public posts, the anniversary video is the clearest sign that the couple are choosing to mark milestones with personal images rather than formal announcements.
Windsor Castle family posts
The new post does not point to any separate public event. It instead centers the family’s anniversary moment, with Adelaide’s overseas birth and the naming tribute providing the detail that makes the post more than a routine celebration.
