Princess Eugenie shares sweet video of baby August in England baby grow

Princess Eugenie delighted fans by sharing a sweet video of her young son dressed in an England baby grow ahead of the squad's Euro 2020 defeat.

The royal posted the video of August Brooksbank on her Instagram page today.

It shows the tot happily kicking his legs on the floor while dressed in an infant version of the Three Lions top.

Eugenie, who did not show her son's face to the camera shared the clip along with the Three Lions football anthem.

It perhaps didn't bring the team much luck as they lost to Italy after a dramatic penalty shoot out to bring the tournament to a close.

The video came amid reports Eugenie and husband Jack Brooksbank's christening for their son was cancelled due to a Covid scare.

The event was due to take place on Saturday for Eugenie's baby son August, and the Queen was believed to have been attending the special occasion.

But an attendee is said to have tested positive for Covid or received an alert from the NHS app, meaning the gathering has had to be cancelled.

It was set to take place at Royal Chapel of All Saints according to reports, with less than 30 people invited.

There was then to be a reception at Royal Lodge, but the event was scrapped due to the Covid scare.

Eugenie, 31, and Jack Brooksbank, 35, would have been joined by Princess Beatrice, 32, and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, 38.

Princess Eugenie's parents Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson were also set to have been in attendance.

A source told The Sun on Sunday: "One guest tested positive or was pinged for Covid contact and therefore no one else was able to gather.

"As a result, they called off the service and reception party afterwards at Royal Lodge, Prince Andrew's home.

"The Queen and Eugenie's parents Fergie and Prince Andrew had all been due to attend."
