The Windsor genes run strong!
Royal fans couldn’t help but notice the resemblance between Princess Eugenie’s son, August, and Prince Harry’s daughter Lilibet in a recent post shared to Instagram.
In honor of her son’s second birthday Thursday, Eugenie shared a video of the toddler dancing to “Jive Talkin’” by the Bee Gees.
“Happy 2nd Birthday to our boy Augie.. you are our worlds greatest joy,” she captioned the sweet clip. “Keep dancing and smiling my angel. Xx”
While many followers rushed to wish August a happy birthday, others pointed out the striking similarities to her cousin’s two children — Archie, 3, and Lilibet, 1.

Eugenie — who is pregnant with her second child — welcomed August just a few months before Harry and Meghan Markle expanded their brood.
Not only do the distant cousins look alike, but sources told Us Weekly they’ve grown close despite living thousands of miles apart.
“Eugenie and Harry and Meghan have an unbreakable bond,” the insider revealed. “They’re in regular communication and FaceTime at least once every couple of months with the children.”

Eugenie was of the few royals the Duke of Sussex spoke highly of in his bombshell memoir, “Spare.”
According to the book, Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, were the first family members Harry introduced to Markle back in 2017.
“I remember Euge hugging Meg as if they were sisters,”‘ he recalled.
