The property has undergone a lot of change of late, with Charles' ex-wife, Countess Karen Spencer leaving the property after their shock split last year. 

On Saturday. Charles revealed he has welcomed a new puppy to Althorp, sharing the news with an adorable photo of the pooch.

"New [dog emoji]," he penned alongside a sweet snap of his fury friend  poking its head out of a bag that it had been carried in. 

Last April, Charles adopted a new puppy, sharing a video from a puppy shelter where he revealed that one of the dogs would be coming home with him. In his caption, Charles shared: "One of these darlings is joining me for a new life at Althorp in a few days. Can't wait!"

Sadly, just months after welcoming his new addition, one of his elder dogs, Otis, had to be put down

At the time, the Earl shared a picture of the Labrador lounging in the doorway of his extravagant Althorp home as he confirmed the sad news.

"Farewell to Otis, our wonderful Labrador, who had to be put to sleep last night," Charles shared. "He was nearly 13. Otis will now join his father, Karoo, and grandmother, Ella, in a beautiful spot in the Park at @althorphouse."
