Princess Eugenie recently shared a heartwarming video of her son, August Brooksbank, dressed in an England onesie, showing support for the national football team during the Euro 2024 semi-final. The adorable clip, posted on her personal Instagram account, captures baby August cooing while his mother, Eugenie, lovingly strokes his tummy. The caption read, “Throwback to a baby Augie. Wishing @england the best of luck tonight #euros.”
The video is likely from England’s previous Euro campaign in 2021, where they were defeated by Italy in the final. However, the current squad managed to secure a 2-1 victory against The Netherlands, with Ollie Watkins scoring in the 90th minute. England is now set to face Spain in the final in Berlin on Sunday, July 14.
While Princess Eugenie showed her support for the national team, her cousin, the Prince of Wales, was unable to attend the semi-final due to work commitments. On the other hand, football enthusiast Prince William, who is the President of the Football Association and a supporter of Aston Villa, was present at England’s quarter-final match against Switzerland.
England’s success in the tournament can be attributed to star players like Harry Kane, the team’s captain and striker, Jude Bellingham, an attacking midfielder/forward, and Phil Foden, another attacking midfielder/forward. These players are among the highest earners in the team, with Bellingham reportedly earning £343,718.58 per week, followed by Kane with £343,656.43, and John Stones with £250,000 weekly.
With a team filled with prolific goal scorers, including Harry Kane, Phil Foden, and Bukayo Saka, England is expected to perform well in the final. Off the field, attention is also drawn to the high-profile WAGs (Wives and Girlfriends) of the players, such as Dani Dyer, Iris Law, and Laura Celia Valk.
Princess Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, were spotted at a football game between Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur in October 2021. Eugenie, who holds a degree in English Literature and History of Art, has been a director at an art gallery in London since 2017.
Apart from their son August, born in February 2021, Eugenie and Jack welcomed their second child, Ernest, in May 2023. Eugenie often shares updates about her children, including their love for football. She has opened up about the joys and challenges of motherhood, highlighting the importance of sleep for her and her children.
As the royal family continues to show their support for England in the Euro 2024 tournament, fans eagerly await the final match against Spain. Princess Eugenie’s adorable video of baby August in an England kit is a heartwarming reminder of the excitement surrounding the national team’s journey in the competition.
