"She was just a wonderfully warm, delightful woman. She came from a very privileged background, she was the daughter of an Irish duke, a young debutante, a young society lady, her name was being mooted as a possible bride to the future King Edward VIII but she wasn't really up for that I don't think."

The 58-year-old continued: "She married my grandfather in 1919, in the immediate aftermath of World War I.
"They settled into life here at Althorp, it was difficult times for the aristocracy but she never complained… She brought old-world aristocracy into the modern world.
"She knew how to behave with everyone, she had impeccable manners but she could also charm the birds out of the trees, she was just a wonderful presence… She became a stalwart of the local area, she was very community-minded…
Althorp has been in the Spencer family for 500 years
"Just a dream grandmother really, she loved people, people loved her. I'm very proud to have had her as my grandmother. "
The father-of-seven's followers loved the heartfelt video and responded with many sweet comments, including: "What a beautiful glimpse into her life, thank you for sharing x."
