Princess Eugenie shared an adorable update on her baby daughter Adelaide.

To mark her eighth wedding anniversary, Eugenie also honoured her husband, Jack Brooksbank, in the same post.

The 36-year-old mum-of-three shared a video on Instagram on Monday (12 October) of Jack holding their two-month-old daughter.

The proud dad, 40, was seen massaging his daughter’s head and gently patting her back as she lay on his chest.

Eugenie accompanied the video with the caption: “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,” she added. “Couldn’t have wished for a better partner."

She used ‘Here Comes the Sun’ by the Beatles in the video.

Eugenie, who is the daughter of former prince, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, and Sarah Ferguson, met Jack while on a Ski trip in Switzerland in 2010.

The couple tied the knot in 2018 after announcing their engagement earlier that same year.

Their first child, son August Philip Hawke Brooksbank, was born in 2021, and their second son, Ernest George Ronnie Brooksbank, was born in 2023.

The couple announced the birth of Adelaide Elizabeth Annina Brooksbank in August and the baby’s middle name is thought to be a tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II.

Announcing the news on Instagram, the proud mum shared a photo of the newborn, with the little girl wearing a pink onesie with wings.

Eugenie wrote: "Jack and I are so excited to announce Baby Girl Brooksbank!! We are beyond in love with our girlie."

She will be 15th in line to the throne, after her three-year-old brother, but before Prince Edward.

Buckingham Palace said in a statement: "Her Royal Highness Princess Eugenie and Mr Jack Brooksbank are delighted to announce the safe arrival of their daughter, born on Monday, 3rd August 2026, at 6.20pm, at a hospital in Lisbon, Portugal.

“Their Majesties The King and Queen and other members of the royal family were delighted to be informed of the news.”

Eugenie and Jack's newborn baby has already inherited a very unique trait held by only one other member of the monarchy.

The new arrival’s cousin, Athena Mapelli Mozzi, became the first Royal Family member to be part of Generation Beta - or just 'Gen Beta' for short.

Little Athena is the second child of Princess Beatrice and her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.

The baby was born in January last year, making her part of a generation of babies born between 2025 and 2039 that could end up being the first generation to live into the 22nd century.
