Princess Eugenie Reveals Baby Adelaide’s Name as Kate Reportedly Distances Herself From York Sisters

0:00 Ah Caloroga Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palace Intrigue Game, your host, Mark Francis. Princess Eugenie has revealed the name of her newborn daughter, Adelaide Elizabeth Anina brooks Bank. Sharing a new photograph of Adelaide, Eugenie wrote, two weeks ago today we welcomed our girl to the world, and since then we've had the most special, cozy and love filled time. We are so happy to share. Adelaide Elizabeth Anina Brooksbank named after three people we love and admire, past and present, including her great grandmother, who we hold close in our hearts.

0:42 Her name is part of English and Portuguese history, two places we love and call home. Oggie and Ernie are already the best big brothers. The reference to Adelaide's great grandmother appears to explain the middle name Elizabeth, honoring the late Queen Elizabeth. The second Adelaide joins older brothers August, who was born in twenty twenty one and Ernest, born in twenty three. August's name has a connection to Prince Albert, Queen Victoria's husband, whose full christened name included August. Ernest also reaches back into Queen Victoria's family. Prince Albert's brother was Ernest, the second Duke of Saxe, Coburg and Gotha. Ernest, George Ronnie Brooksbank's other names honored additional relatives. George has connections to King George the Fifth, while Ronnie was the nickname of Eugenie's maternal grandfather, Major Ronald Ferguson. Eugenie's own name also fits into that tradition. She is Eugenie Victoria Helena, with Victoria and Helena both strongly connected to Queen Victoria's family.

1:42 The new arrival is fifteenth then lying to the British throne. She does not have a royal title because royal status isn't automatically inherited through Princess Eugenie's female line. Like her brothers, she is simply a member of the brooks Bank family, who also happens to have a king for a great great uncle. Radar Online is claiming that Kate has quietly pulled back from Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie. A source tells Radar Kate has effectively served what little relationships she had with Beatrice and Eugenie. There hasn't been some dramatic confrontation or explosive falling out. It has been much quieter than that. The contact has simply disappeared. The feeling is that Kate cannot afford to be dragged into another scandal by association. Beatrice and Eugenie have not been accused of wrongdoing, and nobody is suggesting otherwise, but the renewed scrutiny surrounding their parents has made an already complicated relationship even more difficult.

2:34 Kate and Eugenie were never particularly close, so that it wasn't an enormous friendship there to lose, but there was previously a family connection and a degree of warmth that's largely gone. William's feelings about Andrew are extremely strong, and Kate is completely supportive of her husband. They believe there has to be a very clear line between the future of the monarchy and the controversies that have engulfed the York family. It's desperately difficult for Beatrice and Eugenie because they are Andrew and Sarah's daughters, but they are not responsible for their parents' actions. There is sympathy for the position they find themselves in, but sympathy doesn't necessarily translate into closeness. Kate is extremely conscious of appearances. She knows a photograph, an invitation, or even a friendly public exchange can suddenly become a story about whether the Yorks are being rehabilitated. She doesn't want to create that ambiguity. Nobody expects a public declaration that ties have been cut, and that's simply not how the Royal family operates. You see it instead through who is invited, who is around the Waleses, and who remains inside their trusted circle. Beatrice and Eugenie appear increasingly outside of it, more pals in just a moment.

3:46 Zara Tyndall has won her first major equestrian championship in nearly twenty years, taking the British Open Championship at the Heartbury International Horse Trials riding her seventeen year old horse class Affair. Zarah also the naf CCI four Star Short title and prize of five thousand pounds. Afterwards, she told British Eventing the victory felt amazing and said she was super happy for everyone. An onlooker told Hello that Zara was having a whale of a time, saying Zara was in a crazy mood. She seemed super happy, smiling as she jumped over the jumps. Even going we she was smiling and beaming kissing the horse. Her last major individual championship victory came all the way back in two thousand and six, when she won individual gold of the World Equestrian Games riding toy Town. That was arguably the high point of an extraordinary stretch for Zara and Toytown. They also won individual and team gold at the European Eventing Championship in two thousand and five, and team gold at the Europeans in two thousand and seven. Zara later represented Great Britain at the twenty twelve London Olympics, winning a silver medal in the team event. King Charles isn't exactly known for public displays of affection with members of the royal family. Zara appears to be an exception. Princess Anne's daughter has repeatedly been photographed greeting her uncle with an informality and affection that we don't often see when Charles is carrying out public engagements. The latest example came at Royal Ascot in June. Zara initially followed the usual royal formalities,

5:18 acknowledging the King and curtseying when she approached him, but then things became considerably less formal. She kissed Charles on the cheek and affectionately put her hand on his arm, and this wasn't a one off. At the Royal Windsor Horse Show in twenty twenty four, Zara greeted Charles with a hug, which the King happily returned. Royal author Robert Jobson believes Zara occupies a rather unique position in charles family, telling Hello, Zara is probably the only person who could go up to the King at Royal Ascot and put her arms around him from behind. Part of what makes Zara unusual within the modern royal family is that she's extremely close to its most senior members without actually being a working royal herself. She and Mike are optically helpful to the whole more modern, less taxpayer funded monarchy than William is probably looking to try to achieve without all the drama that comes with someone like his brother, who is nearer the throne than Sarah. King Charles are saying goodbye to another longtime member of his household, Bernie Flannery, who has reportedly worked for Charles for more than forty years as retiring from the King's personal staff. When Charles and Princess Dinne's marriage ended, both wanted Flannery to remain with them. Flannery ultimately stayed with Charles. Royal author Robert Jobson marked his departure telling Hello, Bernie Flannery leaves the King's personal staff this weekend. The loyal butler is the latest of his Majesty's team to leave his side after more than forty years at his beckoned call. He is the most loyal of the loyal. Happy retirement, Bernie, I raise a glass to you. The King briefly stepped away

6:51 from his Scottish summer holiday for an engagement involving one of his long standing interests, British farming. The King visited Belindalock Castle in Spayside for an event celebrating Aberdeen Angus cattle. Charles's royal patron of the Aberdeen Angus breed and his appearance came during the one fifty and beyond celebration. According to a press and journal, Charles Matt breeders and toured the grounds to see the Belindalock heard, which dates back to eighteen sixty one, Around three hundred people attended. The king also helped unveil the Aberdeen Angus Cattle Society's one hundred and fiftieth heard book Charles and Camilla's next major scheduled public appearance is expected to come on September fifth at Braemart Gathering. Meanwhile, Queen Camilla has been spotted enjoying a decidedly ordinary part of the royal family summer holiday, going shopping with her family. Camilla headed into the scottage village of Ballot, less than eight miles from Balmoral, accompanied by her sister Annabel Elliott, daughter Laura Lopes and granddaughter Eliza Lopes, and there wasn't much royal formality involved. The Queen dressed casually and jeans a blue shirt, navy jumper and jacket. As the group made its way off the village high street, Camilla and her sister stopped at Abyule, or local bookshop that also sells newspapers and toys, emerging with small paper bags. The shopping apparently became a little more serious when the group visited Katie boutique. Camilla was photographed smiling as she left carrying two more bags, while the rest of the family also appeared to have made purchases.

8:19 Her sixteen year old grandsons, twins Gus and Louis Lopes, were also reportedly along for the outing, although they returned to the car after visiting the news agent. And there you have it.
