The black-and-white image showed three very smartly dressed young children holding hands and standing in front of a door.

In the middle stood a small girl wearing a white dress and matching hat, while the boy to the left of the photo wore what appeared to be a French Revolution-era costume and the boy to the right wore a black outfit with a white ruffled shirt.

Others added: "Lovely photo of a little family," and: "They look so elegant & jovial!"

A fourth chimed in: "Such an incredible family likeness! A charming photo."

The 57-year-old shared some more recent family photos last week following his reunion with his nephews, Prince William and Prince Harry, for the unveiling of a statue in honour of the late Princess of Wales on what would have been her 60th birthday.

The Earl was joined at the Sunken Garden in Kensington Palace by his older sisters, Lady Jane Fellowes and Lady Sarah McCorquodale.

The emotional occasion marked the first time the relatives had seen each other since Harry's move to America with his wife Meghan last year.

Charles and his sisters have remained close with William and Harry since their mother's death in 1997 and they all attended Harry's eldest child Archie's christening in 2019.
