One childhood snap shows Sarah cradling baby Eugenie at her royal christening at the St Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham, in December 1990. The nine-month-old tot was dressed in the traditional royal christening gown, but reportedly cried throughout the service.

The second photograph shows the Duchess holding two-year-old Beatrice as they step off the Royal Yacht Britannia in Scotland. The mother-daughter duo twinned in pastel cardigans and floral dresses, while Beatrice wore sweet little bows in her hair.

Sarah wrote in the caption: "To celebrate #womenshistorymonth this year, I want to thank & remember a few of the women I admire deeply, all of whom have had such a special influence on my life; my mother, my kind stepmother, Her Majesty the Queen Elizabeth, who was a mother to me, my sisters Jane, Alice, Eliza, Diana and Lisa Marie Presley, who are family to me, and of course my magnificent daughters, Beatrice and Eugenie."
