Princess Eugenie has shared an adorable video of her husband Jack Brooksbank cradling their newborn daughter as she celebrated their eighth wedding anniversary.

The King’s niece, 36, gave royal fans a rare glimpse into family life as she paid a touching tribute to her husband of eight years, describing him as the ‘best Dada’ to their three children.

In the heartwarming clip posted to Instagram, Jack, 40, can be seen gently holding and rocking baby Adelaide, who was born in Portugal in August.

The proud father appears to be soothing his daughter by massaging her head, with Eugenie revealing the sweet conversation taking place between the pair.

She captioned the post: ‘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.’

The intimate family moment marks the couple’s first wedding anniversary since welcoming their third child, Adelaide Elizabeth Annina Brooksbank, who joined older brothers August, five, and Ernest, three, earlier this year.

Eugenie and Jack tied the knot in a lavish ceremony at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle on October 12, 2018, in front of hundreds of guests, including the late Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip.

The couple, who first met on a skiing holiday in Switzerland in 2010, have since built a life together between Britain and Portugal, where Jack’s work has taken the family in recent years.

Their youngest child was born on August 3 at a hospital in Lisbon, weighing 6lb 9oz and the Princess announced her birth the following day.

Two weeks later Eugenie shared a photograph of the newborn sleeping and revealed her name – explaining it had been inspired by three people close to the couple’s hearts.

She wrote: ‘2 weeks ago today we welcomed our girl to the world. And since then we’ve had the most special, cosy and love-filled time.

‘We are so happy to share Adelaide Elizabeth Annina Brooksbank. Named after three people we love and admire past and present, including her Great-Grandmother who we hold close in our hearts.

‘Her name is part of English and Portuguese history, two places we love and call home.’

The princess also revealed how delighted her two sons were with their new sibling, adding: ‘Augie and Ernie are already the best big brothers.’

The name Elizabeth is a touching tribute to Eugenie’s late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, who died in September 2022.

Adelaide is also believed to reference Queen Adelaide, the wife of King William IV, as well as Santa Maria Adelaide of Portugal, reflecting the family’s connections to both countries.

Meanwhile, Annina is understood to have been chosen because of a personal connection, although Eugenie has not publicly explained its significance.

The couple’s choice of Adelaide also has a particularly sentimental connection to their wedding day.

At their evening reception in 2018, Eugenie wore two diamond wheat-ear brooches in her hair, which had originally been commissioned by William IV for his wife Queen Adelaide.

The princess’s new daughter is 15th in line to the throne, ahead of her great-uncle Prince Edward, the Duke of Edinburgh, but will not have the title of Her Royal Highness.

She is also the fifth grandchild of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson, following the arrival of Princess Beatrice’s daughter Athena Mapelli Mozzi in January last year.

Eugenie’s latest family video comes eight years after she walked down the aisle in front of a star-studded congregation at Windsor Castle.

For the occasion, she wore a stunning gown designed by Peter Pilotto and Christopher De Vos, featuring a low back that deliberately revealed the scar from surgery she underwent as a child to correct scoliosis.

She completed the look with the Greville Emerald Kokoshnik Tiara, loaned to her by the late Queen, and diamond and emerald earrings given to her by Jack as a wedding present.

The ceremony was attended by members of the Royal Family and celebrity guests, while thousands of well-wishers gathered in Windsor to catch a glimpse of the newlyweds.

Following the service, the couple shared a kiss on the chapel steps before travelling through the town in a horse-drawn carriage.

Eugenie and Jack had announced their engagement in January 2018 after he proposed during a holiday in Nicaragua, following a romance that began eight years earlier.

They welcomed their first son, August Philip Hawke Brooksbank, on February 9, 2021, followed by Ernest George Ronnie Brooksbank on May 30, 2023.
