• Prince Harry’s uncle referred to the monarch as an “honoured guest” at the Spencer estate.
• The photograph and description may have a hidden meaning, royal enthusiasts say.
• Royals fans were quick to react to the photo.

Earl Spencer, the brother of Princess Diana, appeared to reply to the Netflix series of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle by posting a mysterious message after the series’ final episodes aired this week.

On Instagram, Prince Harry’s uncle posted a photo that royal enthusiasts call “appropriate.” Spencer’s tweet appeared to be a response to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s bombshells: “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 added: “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.”

Fans of the royal family were quick to point out that the photograph and description may have a hidden meaning, with one commenting, “Very apt portrait and king to reflect on today.”

Another added: “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.”
