Princess Eugenie marks 8th wedding anniversary with rare baby video

Princess Eugenie has marked her eighth wedding anniversary with husband Jack Brooksbank by sharing a rare video of their two-month-old daughter, Adelaide Elizabeth Annina Brooksbank ^[1]. The footage, posted on Instagram, shows Jack gently rocking the newborn and rubbing her head, with Eugenie captioning the clip: “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”.

Adelaide was born in Lisbon, Portugal, in August, making her the first British royal to be born abroad in recent memory ^[1]. The couple’s two older children are sons August, aged five, and Ernest, aged three, who are commonly referred to as Augie and Ernie. Eugenie, the youngest daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, is currently 12th in line to the British throne.

The baby’s name pays homage to three loved ones, including her late great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, and reflects both English and Portuguese heritage—two places the couple deeply cherish ^[1]. The choice of Lisbon as the birthplace underscores their strong ties to Portugal, where they maintain a home and other connections.

The video has drawn warm reactions from fans, with one recalling watching Eugenie’s wedding at a soft play centre during a house sale, calling it a deeply personal moment ^[1]. Others praised the couple’s family life, calling their wedding “stunning” and the family “beautiful”.

While The Independent also reported the post, confirming the details of the video and caption, it did not add new information beyond what was in the Mirror report ^[2].
