Charles Spencer appears to be besotted with the new arrival at his family home of Althorp as the father-of-seven was quick to share the news on social media.
Taking to Instagram, Earl Spencer shared the cutest photo of a brand-new puppy at the home. The new pooch, which appeared to be a German Shepherd, was seen sitting at someone's legs and the puppy already appears to be pampered with two collars, including a glitzy string one.
Charles didn't share further details about the latest addition to his home, instead simply captioning the snap: "New pup…"
Fans were besotted with the picture, as one penned: "Beautiful. The expression on his face, eagerly awaiting instructions. Those magnificent large paws were born to work."
A second said: "OMG. Your new fur baby is adorable," while a third commented: "What a beauty. Lucky dog and lucky you."
Recent pups
Charles's latest pup isn't the only recent addition to Althorp. Back in February, the Earl shared a gorgeous photo of a different puppy poking its head out of a bag that it had been carried in.
He didn't share much insight into the new addition to his family, simply commenting: "New [dog emoji]."
A few days later, he posted a beautiful photo of the puppy after having its second jab. The little pooch looked so adorable, snuggled in a porch area of the sprawling estate. He noted: "Three months old, first night out. Always a relief when the second puppy jab is done…"
Last year, the 61-year-old 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, last year, one of his older dogs, Otis, had to be put down. 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."
