Adelaide’s arrival marked a rare instance of a British royal being born abroad, reflecting the family’s strong ties to Portugal.
The couple’s elder sons, August Philip Hawke Brooksbank, born in 2021 in London, and Ernest George Ronnie Brooksbank, who followed in 2023, have already embraced their new sibling. Eugenie has affectionately referred to “Augie and Ernie” as “already the best big brothers.”
Publicly celebrating her husband is something of a tradition for the princess. On Father’s Day in June, she shared photographs of Mr Brooksbank holding his sons’ hands, calling him “the best there is” and “chief child entertainer.”
Eugenie, the younger daughter of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson, is currently 12th in line to the throne.
