Princess Eugenie shared a new video of her two-month-old daughter Adelaide as she marked her eighth wedding anniversary.
Eugenie and husband Jack Brooksbank welcomed their third child, Adelaide Elizabeth Annina Brooksbank, on August 3 in Lisbon, Portugal.
The princess shared the video of Jack holding the newborn in his arms and rubbing her head as he rocked her from side to side.
She captioned the Instagram video: ‘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 the best Dada there is to our 3. Couldn’t have wished for a better partner.’
Adelaide is a younger sibling to the couple’s two sons August, five, and Ernest, three, known as Augie and Ernie.

Eugenie revealed that her daughter’s name was a tribute to ‘three people we love and admire past and present’, including Adelaide’s late great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth II, and to reflect both English and Portuguese history – ‘two places we love and call home.’
Adelaide’s birth was a rare occasion where a member of the British royal family has been born overseas, with Eugenie and her husband having a home and other connections in Portugal.
Eugenie is the youngest daughter of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson, and is currently 12th in line to the British throne.
The royal made the announcement on Instagram, posting a picture of the newborn in a pink baby grow.
She said: ‘Jack and I are so excited to announce Baby Girl Brooksbank!! We are beyond in love with our girlie.’
The baby, who will not be an HRH, will be born 15th in line to the throne, with their great uncle, the Duke of Edinburgh, moving down to 16th place.
She will also be the 15th great-grandchild of the late Queen Elizabeth II, and the third to be born since her death in 2022.
The new arrival will be the fifth grandchild of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, following the birth of Princess Beatrice’s daughter Athena Mapelli Mozzi in January last year.
