Needless to say, his followers were just as impressed with the views as they were with his photography skills. "You have a keen eye and sensibility. Beautiful capture. The intriguing, underlying historical narrative...you can hear ‘them’ speak....," one impressed follower wrote.

Another said: "The glorious golden glow of the local stone is greatly admired." A third added: "The natural beauty of ironstone. Centuries of Althorp's horses must have been very content living in such splendour."

Charles has also shown off the gardens of the home, which span a jaw-dropping 550 acres. He recently posted a photo of endless bushes of blooming lilac lavender framing a set of concrete steps that lead up to another area of lawn, surrounded by concrete walls and plinths.

Last month he revealed the shocking aftermath a storm had on the grounds. Sharing a video on Twitter of a large number of broken tree branches and trunks scattered across the spacious grounds, the 56-year-old captioned the clip: "Big storm last night - an awful lot of debris wherever I look."

Fans were quick to comment on the damage, with one writing: "Can’t like this message! Good luck cleaning up and let’s hope further damage will not take place!" Another wrote: "Wow! A very dangerous storm by the looks of it!" A third added: "How awful. Hope no one was hurt."
