Last weekend, the Earl gave a glimpse into life with his family at the Northamptonshire residence.

He shared a snapshot on Twitter which showed a large projector screen on which a football game was playing, while a laptop in the foreground featured Charles giving a talk.

The Earl captioned the picture: "Good effort by one of my children last night: not missing the sport, while loyally following my live talk to their school on The White Ship...!"

In the background, a stunning white grand piano could be seen, along with a very comfy-looking leather chair, rows of picture frames, and a stylish faux fur rug.

His followers were clearly tickled by the self-deprecating message, with their responses including: "Hey! Priorities! Sorry dad! [laughing emoji]," and: "I hope they were supporting Fulham, Charles! All best."

Charles is a dad-of-seven, welcoming his youngest child, Lady Charlotte Diana Spencer, in 2012.

He tied the knot with his third wife, Lady Karen Spencer, back in 2011.

Lady Spencer has two adult daughters from her first marriage, while Charles is also father to the Honorable Edmund Spencer, 18 and Lady Lara Spencer, 14, from his marriage to Caroline Freud, as well four grown-up-children from his first marriage to Victoria Lockwood.
