The former Duchess of York wrote a long caption for the images, which read: "Happy International Women’s Day! Here are some of my inspirational women throughout history including Her Majesty The Queen, our longest reigning Monarch, my mother whose courage to always follow her heart was where my woman inspiration came from, Margaret Thatcher, the longest-serving British Prime Minister of the 20th century, Queen Victoria who became Queen when she was only 18, Boudicca, who became a symbol of national character and indomitability and my incredible sister Jane who continues to inspire me every day. How wonderful it is also to see men who support the female leaders #internationalwomensday #iwd2020 #iwd #women @internationalwomensday_global."
