It's probably a good thing that he's too young to remember.

August Brooksbank is not even six months old and already he’s growing into an avid soccer fan… but we have a sneaking suspicion his enthusiasm is all due to his parents’ influence.

The final match of the Euros (the European Football Championship) has wrapped up at Wembley stadium and Italy has taken victory over England.

The result is bound to come as a blow to the royals in Merry Old England, none the least Princess Eugenie who took to her Instagram on Monday to share an adorable video of her son August looking quite patriotic.

Donned in an adorable white, red and black onesie with the England National Football team emblem in the top left hand corner, little August was kicking his legs with glee as the word’s ‘Football’s Coming Home’ appeared across the screen.

Well, that video didn’t age well. At least August is too young to truly realise that his home country lost such a major sporting event.

The same can’t be said for Prince George who, after being so enthusiastic throughout the match, was the picture of sadness as England lost the penalty shoot out.

The silver lining for George was being able to watch England win against Germany at the end of last month.

The mini soccer (sorry Brits, football) fan attended Wembley with his mother and father and couldn’t contain his excitement as his home turf beat their rivals.

We hope the young heir isn’t too disappointed after today’s result.

But there will be plenty of other football matches where that came from. And eventually little August will be old enough to join in on the fun.
