Princess Eugenie may be
enjoying the summer with her husband Jack Brooksbank and
their son August, but that didn’t stop the royal from sending her well
wishes to the Lionesses following their historic win.
After watching
the England women’s team lift up the trophy on Sunday night,
32-year-old Eugenie took to Instagram to share a picture of the football team
celebrating their remarkable win.
“Wow wow wow… you have
done us proud. Thank you for inspiring us,” she wrote, adding:
“Huge congratulations to the Lionesses!!!”
Eugenie also posted the
Queen’s heartwarming message, which read: “My warmest congratulations, and
those of my family, go to you all on winning the European Women’s Football
Championships. It is a significant achievement for the entire team, including
your support staff.
“The Championships and
your performance in them have rightly won praise. However, your success goes
far beyond the trophy you have so deservedly earned.”

She continued: “You have
all set an example that will be an inspiration for girls and women today, and
for future generations. It is my hope that you will be as proud of the impact
you have had on your sport as you are of the result today,” before
concluding the letter with her signature: “ELIZABETH R.”
The final saw England beat
Germany 2-1 after the game went into extra time. The Queen’s grandson Prince
William was seen cheering on the football team from the sidelines at Wembley.
The message of support comes
just a day after the Changing the Guard took place to the tune of Sweet
Caroline by Neil Diamond. Taking to Twitter on Saturday, the Queen’s team
shared a sweet video of the military band standing outside Buckingham Palace
playing the iconic 1969 song.
The caption read: “There
was some special music at today’s Changing the Guard #Lionesses @ArmyinLondon
@England @Lionesses.”
