Princess Diana's Brother Shares Rare Pic of Their Grandparents in Front of Their Childhood Home (& It Was Taken By Their Dad)

Charles Spencer, also known as Princess Diana’s brother, just posted a rare family photo of their grandparents during World War II, sharing an intimate glimpse into the rich family history of Prince William and Prince Harry’s late mother.

This isn’t the first time Spencer posted images or talked openly of his family before, either. The 60-year-old historian and author recalled having fond memories of his big sister in school, who he says was “very good to me as a child.” Then when he displayed a glamour headshot of his mother Frances Shand Kydd, many were quick to link the resemblance back to Princess Diana, from the soft eyes to the short curls.

This past week, Spencer shared an especially rare photo of his and his late sister’s grandparents on his Instagram. He captioned it, “My grandparents, Jack and Cynthia Spencer, enjoying a bit of downtime in the front courtyard of @althorphouse in c.1940.”

He continued, “A moment when World War II must have felt a million miles away. Photograph taken by my teenaged father, with his box brownie camera.”
