The Earl took to Instagram, where he posted a photo of the portrait, which showed his paternal grandfather as a boy – and the resemblance to the rest of the Spencer clan was obvious!
Charles captioned the image with a heartfelt message which read: "My grandfather Jack Spencer looking happy with life as a pupil at @harrowschoolofficial, which he attended between 1905-1910. (I love the half-smile on his lips, here.)"
