The 36-year-old royal was photographed in Notting Hill on September 7, marking her first public sighting since welcoming her daughter, Adelaide Elizabeth Annina Brooksbank, with husband Jack Brooksbank last month.

Eugenie embraced an off-duty look in a black T-shirt and leggings, completing her casual ensemble with Nike sneakers, red sunglasses and a plaid shirt tied around her waist.

Eugenie appeared in high spirits during the low-key outing, sharing smiles and an affectionate greeting with friends outside a venue in the fashionable west London neighborhood.

The candid photographs captured a particularly sweet moment as Eugenie approached one friend with her arms outstretched, seemingly ready for a warm embrace.

The Princess shared a warm reunion with a friend as she stepped out in London following the birth of her third child and first daughter.

The group was later seen laughing and chatting together on the sidewalk, giving a rare glimpse of the Princess enjoying some downtime away from royal engagements and newborn duties.

For the casual outing, Eugenie kept things sporty in a loose black T-shirt and black leggings with sheer paneling, paired with black-and-white Nike sneakers. She tied an oversized patchwork plaid shirt around her waist, adding an autumnal touch to the otherwise monochromatic look.

Princess Eugenie was all smiles during a casual outing in Notting Hill, London, on September 7, 2026, marking her first public sighting since welcoming her daughter, Adelaide.

The royal completed her off-duty ensemble with delicate gold jewelry and later slipped on a pair of narrow red sunglasses. Her hair was swept into an effortless low bun, while a bright red tote added an unexpected pop of color.

A new chapter for Princess Eugenie:

The London appearance comes just over a month after Eugenie and Jack welcomed their third child and first daughter on August 3.

The royal mom laughed and chatted with her friends during her first public appearance since welcoming baby Adelaide in August.

Adelaide was born at 6:20 p.m. at a hospital in Lisbon, Portugal, weighing 6 lbs., 9 oz., according to Buckingham Palace. King Charles, Queen Camilla and other members of the royal family were said to be "delighted" by the happy news.

Eugenie and Jack, who married at St George's Chapel in Windsor in October 2018, are already parents to sons August, 5, and Ernest, 3. The family divides its time between the United Kingdom and Portugal, where Jack's work has been based in recent years.

Eugenie caught up with friends on the streets of Notting Hill, looking relaxed and happy during the low-key outing.

Two weeks after Adelaide's arrival, Eugenie revealed her daughter's full name and shared that the family had been enjoying a "special, cosy and love-filled time."

She explained that Adelaide Elizabeth Annina was named after three people the couple "love and admire past and present," including Eugenie's late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.

Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank introduced their newborn daughter with this sweet first photo following her birth in Lisbon, Portugal.

The Princess also noted that the name reflects the family's connections to both English and Portuguese history. The little girl has since officially taken her place as 15th in line to the British throne, following her older brothers.

After spending Adelaide's first weeks largely out of the public eye, Eugenie's cheerful London reunion offered a glimpse at the royal mom easing back into everyday life, and clearly happy to be catching up with friends.
