The brother of Princess Diana, Charles Spencer, has shared his first Instagram post following the final instalment of Harry and Meghan's Netflix series.
Charles, who is the 9th Earl of Spencer, posted a portrait of King Charles I to the photo-sharing site, giving his followers a little insight into the history of the monarch.
The author and peer, who is Prince Harry's uncle, hasn't commented on the contents of the bombshell documentary - but has now taken to social media to share a "very apt" post about the history of the royal family.
The Mirror reports that in the picture's caption, he said: "Portrait of Charles I, hanging in the Picture Gallery at @althorphouse - the king visited the house in the 1630s, as an honoured guest - at one banquet recorded as feasting on herons, peacocks, and even the humble potato (which was relatively new to England then).
"He was also allowed to visit Althorp [the Spencer estate] several times in 1647, when being held prisoner at his palace of Holdenby - after losing the first English Civil War. The king’s hobbies included Bible-reading, chess, and lawn bowls, and Althorp had an excellent bowling green. Charles was executed in London, in January 1649."
One royal fan commented: "Very apt portrait and king to reflect on today."
"What a marvellous history teacher you would have made!" another said.
And another wrote: "You may be silent on the Netflix drama but after this post about a previous King Charles, might one dare to say you are #TeamHarry - very sagacious to stay silent but let history speak for you.."
Diana is buried in the grounds of Althorp Park, and her brother has been custodian of the family estate since his father died in 1992.
