The snap also captured a very rare shot of his wife, Karen, who was sat with two children. Charles and Karen share one daughter, Charlotte Diana, who was named after his late sister, Princess Diana.

In his caption, Charles shared his sadness that the family trip had come to an end, as he wrote: "A beautiful few days (and evenings) in Canada – sadly over."

Alongside Charlotte, the 57-year-old is also a father to six other children. He shares Lady Kitty Spencer, Ladies Amelia and Eliza Spencer and Louis Spencer, Viscount Althorp with his first wife Victoria Aitken.

And he shares Edmund Spencer and Lara Spencer with his second wife Caroline Freud.

Sharing a screenshot of the chart which showed the book sitting pretty at number seven, Princess Diana's brother wrote: "Fourth week in the Sunday Times Bestseller chart for THE WHITE SHIP - my nonfiction romp through the 90 years following the Norman invasion of 1066."

The father-of-seven went on: "It's the true story of William the Conqueror’s royal sons fighting one another for control of England and Normandy, with their sons, grandsons and courageous granddaughter ('the Empress') taking this real life game of thrones into the next generation and beyond.

"This medieval struggle for power is most deeply [affected] by THE WHITE SHIP, the Medieval TITANIC, which sank 900 years ago, altering the course of History forever. The book is published in the USA on 19 October. #thewhiteship."

Charles' followers were quick to congratulate him on his achievement, with one writing: "Fabulous news."

Other comments included: "Richly deserved no doubt," and: "I've just bought this, so looking forward to reading it," while others simply posted clapping and heart-eyes emojis.
