Charles, 9th Earl Spencer, 58, and his wife Karen, 50, have unearthed a family wedding item inside their home, Althorp House.
Charles and his siblings, including Princess Diana, grew up in the Grade I home on the 13,000-acre estate, which has been in the family for over 500 years. However, Karen stumbled across a "lovely" possession that belonged to Charles' grandmother, Cynthia, back in 1919 while looking through the storage spaces inside Althorp.

Aside from books on farming, Karen explained: "The other little gem I found in the muniment room was this little bible, with the note inside that read 'I carried this Book at my wedding to Jack, at St James’s Church, Piccadilly on February 26th 1919. Cynthia'. Cynthia is Charles’ grandmother. How lovely."
This comes just hours after Charles' daughter Lady Amelia Spencer – whom he shares with Victoria Lockwood – got married in South Africa.
