Princess Eugenie's daughter Adelaide's name maintains family tradition - now Prince Harry is the only cousin to have abandoned it

Baby Adelaide Brooksbank might not have been born with a title like her mother, but her name strongly honours her royal heritage. On 17th August, Eugenie finally announced her daughter's highly-anticipated fully moniker - Adelaide Elizabeth Annina Brooksbank.

The Princess confirmed that her little girl was "named after three people we love and admire past and present, including her Great-Grandmother who we hold close in our hearts". The late Queen Elizabeth was the only one of the three to get a shout-out and "Elizabeth" upholds a special naming tradition started by Eugenie's cousin Peter Phillips and abandoned by Prince Harry.
