Is the word orgulhosamente the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

Yes

The word "orgulhosamente" is identical in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese regarding its spelling, grammatical category (adverb), and semantic meaning. The only differences are phonetic: Brazilians tend to reduce unstressed vowels more significantly (for example, the final "e" is often pronounced like an "i") and have different realizations of the "s" sound depending on the region, whereas Portuguese pronunciation tends to be more closed and consonant-heavy.
