On Wednesday, Charles Spencer took to social media to share a captivating glimpse into his family estate, Althorp House.

Known for his engaging updates, the 9th Earl Spencer posted intriguing photos on his official X account, revealing a recent discovery that has sparked curiosity among his followers.

His staff unearthed a Japanese coffin, and the excitement was palpable as he shared this piece of history with the world.

In his post, Spencer provided an update under the hashtag #Althorpunlocked, showcasing the unveiling of an 18th-century Japanese lacquer cabinet and a casket on a stand.

However, much to the disappointment of those eagerly following the story, neither of these treasures yielded any secrets.

The question lingered: when were these items last opened, and who had the privilege of doing so?

The lacquered pieces, crafted from mahogany and embellished with intricate gold floral designs, were truly a sight to behold.

Fans of Spencer expressed their admiration for these updates, with one follower commenting on how much they appreciated glimpses into his beautiful home.

The idea of owning and caring for such a majestic property is indeed a dream for many.

Another follower chimed in, marveling at the exquisite lacquerwork and hoping that the team was enjoying the process of discovery.

It’s one of those endeavors where each key turned leads to more questions, creating an ongoing adventure.

Just hours before sharing this thrilling find, Charles paid heartfelt tribute to his late brother-in-law, Lord Fellows, who passed away at the age of 82 on July 29.

In a poignant message, he shared a screenshot of Fellows’ obituary from the Times, reflecting on the profound loss.

“Robert, my extraordinary brother-in-law, has passed away,” he wrote, capturing the essence of a man who was a true gentleman.

Spencer recalled the qualities that made Fellows special—his wisdom, humor, and honesty.

He expressed pride in his role as a brother-in-law, highlighting the bond they shared.

Lord Fellows had married Charles’s older sister, Lady Jane Spencer, in 1978, intertwining their families in a deep and meaningful way.

Fellows was not just a family member; he also played a significant role in royal circles.

He served as one of the primary courtiers to the late Queen Elizabeth II, assisting her during the tumultuous year of 1992, marked by three royal divorces and a devastating fire at Windsor Castle.
