The 57-year-old shared a stunning black-and-white photo of the 550-acre property from the 1800s and revealed an old wing of the building that was no longer there. "In the 19th century Althorp briefly had a billiard room / extra library - the additional wing is visible towards the left of this photograph," he explained in his caption.

One asked: "Why was the wing removed? Was it purely in the interests of symmetry, or was there some other reason for the brevity of its existence?"
A second questioned: "What happened to it?" and a third queried: "What happened to the additional wing?"
Although the Earl directed his fans to the left of the photo, one of his followers was distracted by the large tree on the right and wondered: "Is that lovely big tree still there?"
