Princess Diana’s younger brother, Charles Spencer, the 9th Earl Spencer, has finally spoken out following the release of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s second volume of their Netflix documentary.
Charles Spencer took to Instagram to share a picture of King Charles I, who was executed in 1649 after his conflicts with Parliament ignited a civil war.
This post has sparked intrigue and speculation among royal fans.
According to the Daily Mail, Charles Spencer has remained silent since his nephew, Prince Harry, made explosive claims about the royal family.
However, his recent Instagram post has been deemed quite fitting in light of the revelations made by Harry and Meghan.
The picture was captioned “Portrait of Charles I, hanging in the picture gallery at Althorpe House.”
It turns out that the king had visited the Spencer estate multiple times in the 1630s as an esteemed guest.
During one of these visits, he was recorded feasting on herons, peacocks, and even the then-humble potato, which was relatively new to England at the time.
Charles Spencer also shared some interesting details about the king’s hobbies, including playing chess, reading the bible, and lawn bowling.
He mentioned that the Spencer estate had an excellent bowling green.
Fans were quick to comment on the post, expressing their fascination with the history associated with the Spencer family.
The timing of Charles Spencer’s post has led many royal experts to speculate whether Prince Harry and Meghan will be invited to Charles’ coronation ceremony next year.
One fan commented, “You may be silent on the Netflix drama, but after this post about a previous king, Charles, might one dare to say that you are #TeamHarry?
Very wise to remain silent and let history speak for you.”
Investigative journalist Tom Bauer’s book, “Revenge: Meghan, Harry, and the War Between the Windsors,” shed light on several shocking claims about the couple.
One intriguing revelation was Prince Harry’s hope that Diana’s two sisters and best friend would see the similarities he saw between Meghan and his mother.
However, Bauer suggests that Earl Spencer and the others failed to recognize these similarities and even believed that Meghan would struggle to fit in with the royal family.
Bauer wrote, “Since the Vanity Fair article had increased the Cambridges’ suspicion of Meghan, the actress discovered that her neighbor in Kensington Palace had even less time for her.
By then, Harry had introduced Meghan to Diana’s two sisters, Jane and Sarah, and her best friend Julia Samuel.
Harry assumed that Diana’s family and friends would see a similarity between Diana and his fiancé.
Both, he said, shared the same problems.
He was disappointed.
No one agreed that his vulnerable mother had anything in common with his new girlfriend.
More discomforting for him, they thought Meghan wouldn’t fit in.”
The release of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Netflix documentary has undoubtedly stirred up controversy and speculation within the royal family.
Charles Spencer’s Instagram post adds another layer to the ongoing discussion surrounding the couple’s claims and their relationship with the rest of the royal family.
As the story continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how these revelations will impact future royal events and dynamics.
