That wasn't the only trip down memory lane Charles took on Thursday as he also updated his Instagram feed with a glorious newspaper clipping that showed a childhood image of he and Princess Diana.
In the photo, the future Princess of Wales, who was then aged five, was playing in her toy car when her younger brother, who was then aged two, poured sand all over it.
Charles and Diana had a very relatable sibling bond
The scene was observed by their parents, Lord Althorp and Viscountess Althorp, as well as their two other children, Sarah, 11, and Jane, nine.
Captioning the photo Charles penned: "A snapshot of family life in 1966. #terribletwos #blackandwhite #1960s #familyphotos #spencerfamily #littlebrother #family."
The Earl's wife Lady Karen Spencer replied to the adorable image writing: "So cute," with two red love hearts - and we completely agree!
Fans were also keen to weigh in on the image. One penned: "The look on Diana's face is priceless. Sweet and indulgent but also "Oh Charles…"
A second replied: "How lovely....wonderful memories for you."
A third wrote: "So sweet. Such a warm memory of a playful moment frozen in time."
