Princess Eugenie has shared a rare video of her son August Brooksbank ahead of tonight's Euros semi-final. Posting to her 1.8m followers ahead of the Three Lions' clash with the Netherlands, she shared an adorable clib of August from when he was a baby, wearing a super cute England baby-grow.

In her caption, she said: "Throwback to a baby Augie. Wishing @england the best of luck tonight #euros." August is the first child of Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank. The pair had their second child, Ernest, in May last year.

The black-and-white footage shows the wriggling tot with the Three Lions emblem on his right side. What's thought to be Eugenie's hand brushes over the stomach of her newborn as cooing takes place in the background.

Fans were quick to comment on the little look-back picture, with one adding: "Love the outfit! Good luck England." One commenter said: "The video is wonderful and a memory of a lifetime."

"That's so cute, Princess Eugenie", another said.

England and Netherlands are 1-1 at the time of writing, with the match already in full-swing. Princess Eugenie, however, is not the only royal to publicly pledge her support to the England squad.

Prince William has been out to Germany to watch the team play, displaying a jubilant fist-pump when England levelled up with Switzerland. The Three Lions won the match on penalties, which has propelled them to tonight's semi-finals.

Pictures emerged from after the match of William personally congratulating the players after they secured victory.

Eugenie gave birth to August on February 9, 2021 - making the toddler nearly 3.5 years old.

Eugenie appeared on TV host Kate Thornton's White Wine Question Time podcast, where she gave a brief insight into her style of parenting. Speaking to the star, she said manners were a big part of Brooksbank household.

"Manners maketh the man. I’m trying to do that with my kids right now," she told Kate.
