Princess Adrienne of Sweden is the youngest child of Princess Madeleine and Chris O’Neill.
Born in 2018, Adrienne’s name was a bit of a shock to royal watchers as it doesn’t have a history with the Royal Family. However, the name actually is a sweet tribute.
According to Svenksdam, Adrienne’s name came from a lady Queen Silvia met in the 1990s. The woman, named Adrienne, was getting a cancer screen at Medevi Brunn and met the Queen.
Queen Silvia said to her: “Oh, your name is Adrienne, it’s such a beautiful name. I would have given that to Madeleine.”
Fast forward a couple of decades and Madeleine chose to give that very name to her own daughter.
Adrienne’s middle names also have a special meaning.
The middle name Alice comes from her great-grandmother (the mother of Queen Silvia) Alice Sommerlath, while Josephine was the name of Chris’s grandmother, Josephine Cesario. Madeleine also counts Josephine as one of her middle names.
