Earl Spencer took to social media on Sunday to share an unusual new glimpse of his family home, Althorp House.
Sharing a photo of a weather vane on the roof surrounded by a cloudless bright blue sky, the 60-year-old wrote: "First light on Althorp's roof this morning."
His followers were quick to respond, with one commenting: "Beautiful, lovely summer," and another agreeing: "Beautiful, I'd love to take photos there!"
The father-of-seven originally moved to the estate when he was 11, his sister Diana was 14 and their older sisters Sarah and Jane were adults.

Earlier in the week, Charles sparked a strong fan reaction when he uploaded a new photograph of Princess Diana's final resting place.
Taking to Instagram, the 9th Earl, who became custodian of the Spencer family Estates following the death of his father in 1992, shared a snapshot of the glittering Oval Lake dotted with a gaggle of fluffy goslings.
The tranquil spot looked so serene surrounded by towering leafy trees and pretty yellow flowers.

There used to be a bridge in place so that visitors could access the island, however, it was later removed for security reasons.

The sprawling estate is a Grade I listed stately home located five miles northwest of Northampton, between the villages of Great Brington and Harlestone.
It's been in the Spencer family for over 500 years and is set on 13,000 acres, 550 of which are the house and gardens. In recent years, Charles and his wife Karen have been working hard behind-the-scenes to restore the beautiful property to its former glory.

They share their magnificent home and gardens with a plethora of adorable animals including their new Fox Red Labrador pup, a barn cat called Rudy, peacocks Tim and Jim and two sheep called Minty and Lucky.

Princess Diana originally wanted to move back to the property after her divorce from King Charles (then Prince Charles) but that sadly wasn't able to happen for security reasons.
As Charles Spencer explained in an interview years later: "Diana had a lovely dream that she could live a normal life afterward.

"The police knew it wouldn’t work. I offered every other property that was suitable on the estate. I really felt it was the right decision for her. But she probably couldn't see it."
