It is easy to remember Princess Diana as a graceful woman that unfortunately left us at a very early age. But at one point in her pre-Royal life, Diana was just a young woman who didn’t know how far she was going to go! Recently, the late Princess’ brother, Charles Spencer, went on Twitter to share a nostalgic photo of him and his sister from their childhood.
Shown below, the moment shows Diana in a lovely puff-sleeved dress, putting her arm around Charles on a beautiful, sunny day
The Earl took to Instagram, where he posted a photo of the portrait, which showed his paternal grandfather as a boy – and the resemblance to the rest of the Spencer clan was obvious!
Charles captioned the image with a heartfelt message which read: “My grandfather Jack Spencer looking happy with life as a pupil at @harrowschoolofficial, which he attended between 1905-1910. (I love the half-smile on his lips, here.)”
He went on: “He would go on to @trincollcam (Trinity College, Cambridge) – and then joined the Life Guards, to fight in World War 1. After a life of public service and caring for @althorphouse he died in 1975, soon after his 83rd birthday. #spencerfamily #althorp #worldwar1.”
“What an amazing resemblance you have to your grandfather,” one wrote, with another adding: “True.”
Different commenters chimed in: “He looks so much like Princess Diana,” and: “I see resemblance to Diana,” while another responded: “Oh your father looks just like him.”
One fan diplomatically added: “Your family have such beautiful features, you can see the resemblance from all the past generations.“
