Charles, the 9th Earl Spencer often posts updates about his sprawling ancestral home Althorp House on social media, but the latest photo pertains to a very special family wedding.
A close-up photo of a worn plaque attached to a moss-covered wall, dated 1969, read: "This wood was planted by the agricultural tenantry on the Northamptonshire and Warwickshire estates to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of Earl and Countess Spencer."
Meanwhile, the second photo showed the never-ending lawn interspersed with trees, which make up part of the estate's 13,000 acres.
"Lovely memorial to my grandparents on the wall at the back of the Park at @althorphouse - commemorating a gift to mark their Golden Wedding Anniversary. Second image: how that wood looks now, a further 54 years on. Wonderful, how the landscape here connects to family, history, and - come to that - to family history," Charles captioned the post.

Charles' home also holds several more special memories for the family, especially when it comes to relationships. Firstly, it is where he grew up with his sister Princess Diana, and where she first crossed paths with King Charles.

He recalled meeting the 16-year-old, telling The Telegraph: "I remember thinking what a very jolly and amusing and attractive 16-year-old she was. I mean, great fun, and bouncy and full of life and everything."
Meanwhile, Charles Spencer also marked many of his own milestones at the Grade I listed stately home. He proposed to his ex-wife Victoria Lockwood after just six weeks of dating, and the former couple got married in 1989 at Althorp House.

They welcomed four children: daughter Kitty in 1990, twins Eliza and Amelia in 1992, and son Louis in 1994, before splitting in 1997.
Charles went on to marry his third wife Karen Spencer in 2011, once again choosing his home as his wedding venue.
