Earlier this month, Kate also congratulated Croatia after their monumental quarter-final win against favorites Brazil.
However, she also echoed the nation’s thoughts as she watched England lose to France in the quarter-finals of the FIFA World Cup.
Gareth Southgate’s side suffered a 2-1 defeat at the reigning world champions after a series of controversial decisions by Brazilian referee Wilton Sampaio, including the disallowance of a penalty in the first half.
Watching from home with Gabriella, the actress shared a video of the pair challenging Sampaio before jumping to their feet to celebrate after captain Harry Kane scored from the spot in the second half.

Patriotic Beckinsale has been closely following England’s progress in Qatar and admitted she was disappointed with their quarter-final exit.
In the description of her video, she wrote: ‘Ups and downs. Well done England, we are proud of you. Congratulations to France x Both teams made it. The referee is super suspicious.’
