The Earl shared the lovely behind-the-scenes moment on social media

Charles grew up at Althorp with his sisters, including the late Diana, Princess of Wales, and regularly shares updates from the home and grounds with his social media followers.

The estate has been closed to the public for an extended period due to the pandemic but is set to re-open this summer.

Last month, the father-of-seven revealed that he was implementing some changes ahead of the big day.

A new photo shared on the official Twitter account for the Grade I listed property revealed that items were being moved around ahead of its opening to the public.

"Moving things round a bit at @AlthorpHouse," the caption read.

Fans were quick to comment, with one writing: "Looks like quite the undertaking. I'm sure many interesting pieces somewhere in there."
