Sarah, Duchess of York is much loved for her down-to-earth nature and often shares snippets of her life with her fans on social media, from photos with her daughters to behind-the-scenes pictures taken at the many glitzy events she attends. Most recently, Prince Andrew's ex-wife has revealed that she is just as much of a football fan as the rest of the country right now, and has sent her support to England team ahead of the semi-finals on Saturday. Taking to Instagram, Sarah paid tribute to the players after their win against Colombia on Tuesday, posting a photo of goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, and writing next to it: "Huge congratulations to the @england team for their victory last night and particularly to @jpickford1 for saving those penalties. We are all behind you and good luck on Saturday #worldcup2018 #sport #football#threelions @harrykane @fifaworldcup."
