Sarah enjoyed a lovely relationship with the Queen, and posted a beautiful tribute to her on Instagram following her passing, writing: "I am heartbroken by the passing of Her Majesty the Queen. She leaves behind an extraordinary legacy: the most fantastic example of duty and service and steadfastness, and a constant steadying presence as our head of state for more than 70 years. She has given her whole life selflessly to the people of the UK and the Commonwealth.
