Princess Diana’s brother Charles Spencer has shared a cryptic message for King Charles and Prince William a day after the royals snubbed Prince Harry from Trooping the Colours.

Taking to Instagram, Charles Spencer shared a family photo as they marked their father’s 65th birthday at Althorp House.

The picture also features a rare never-before-seen photo of his sister Princess Diana with family.

He said, “Large family group for my father’s 65th Birthday Party at @althorphouse in May 1989 - my step siblings William, Rupert and Charlotte at the back from left; and stepbrother Henry up front - with Raine wearing a boldly eye catching floral dress.”

He further said, “A wonderful evening, celebrating a wonderful man.”

Spencer shared rare family photo from their historic gathering after the royal family snubbed Prince Harry from King Charles official birthday, the Trooping the Colours.

The royals marked King Charles official birthday on Saturday, June 13 with Harry and Meghan Markle snubbed.

Meghan and Harry have not been invited to the royal event.

Since quitting their royal roles in 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan have not made it onto the palace balcony for the event’s finale.

The royal couple did attend Trooping in 2022 as part of the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations, but did not appear on the balcony.
