Earl Charles Spencer has shared a glimpse inside Princess Diana's former childhood home, Althorp House, ahead of the festive season, showcasing an impressive Christmas tree in a social media post.

Adorned with twinkling lights and red baubles, the tree is the focal point of the room and is so tall that it can be reached from the second floor.

The Earl has been custodian of Althorp House in Northampton since the death of his father in 1992.

He regularly shares updates about the Spencer family estate on his social media accounts, posting photos and videos of its beautiful grounds, priceless works of art and resident animals, including a peacock.

The Grade I listed residence where the late Princess Diana grew up has 90 spectacular rooms and is surrounded by 550 glorious acres of land. The Northamptonshire estate is also the royal's final resting place.

In November, Charles shared a poignant snap together with his late father and sister from 1989, when the family celebrated John Spencer's 65th birthday.
