The post had a lovely image of a portrait of his paternal grandfather, Jack Spencer, when he was a boy. The caption revealed that Charles loved the half-smile on Jack's lips.

Apart from family, it is known that the author has a soft spot for some members of the royal family, with Prince Philip being one of them. He even tagged the funeral of the Duke of Edinburgh as a stunningly moving ceremony.

The memory of the duke will live on alongside Diana's as a statue has been commissioned to mark the twentieth anniversary of the Princess of Wales's death and to celebrate her positive impact around the world.
