In the black and white
photograph, John Spencer could be seen with the royal couple in Australia,
whilst on their 1953-4 Commonwealth Tour.
Captioning the picture,
Charles wrote: “The Queen & Prince Philip greeted by a huge crowd in
Australia during their triumphant 1953-54 Commonwealth Tour.
“My father – who was HM’s
Equerry then – sits in front of them in the Land Rover, next to the
driver.”
The photograph tribute
was met with an outpouring of love on social media.
“What a beautiful photo
for your family to cherish,” one said.
Another wrote: “A lovely
photograph and memory.”
Charles’ post comes days
after King Charles III announced Kate will now use Diana’s title
the Princess of Wales.
A short time after the
announcement, Diana’s brother shared some kind words about the royal
family.
Alongside a photograph of the
Spencer family’s ancestral home Althorp, he wrote: “We will keep the flag
at @althorphouse flying at half-mast till after Her Majesty’s
funeral.”

shortly after the news of the Queen’s death was made public.
The official announcement
about Her Majesty’s death read: “The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral
this afternoon.
“The King and The Queen
Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London
tomorrow.”
