Charles shared the sweet new video to Twitter

"I’m not sure what I love more: this adorable puppy proudly adding to his slipper collection, or that you’re watching Will & Grace! OK, the puppy wins," wrote one fan, to which Charles responded: "Best show ever."

"Awww bless him he's so cute," added another follower, while a third responded with a laughing emoji as they wrote: "No slippers are safe in our house."

As well as Tim the resident peacock and the herd of deer that occupy the grounds, this March saw the arrival of two rescue lambs, Lucky and Minty, who will live the rest of their lives at Althorp.

In early 2020, meanwhile, the 57-year-old added eight-week-old puppies Forager and Rufus to his brood, sharing a sweet video of the pair running outside.
