Princess Diana’s Brother Posts Throwback of Their Father from the ‘60s and the Resemblance Is Wild

Princess Diana’s brother, Charles Spencer, is no stranger to sharing sweet family memories. From throwback photos of the late princess’s sixth birthday party to vintage portraits of their grandparents (with some seriously uncanny resemblances), he loves giving fans a peek into the Spencer family history. And his latest post is more of the same.

On Sunday, September 28, Charles shared a black-and-white throwback of his father, John Spencer, 8th Earl Spencer. The photo shows John looking sharp in a suit and tie, his hair slicked back perfectly. He’s holding a pen and gazing off to the side, exuding old-school charm.

"My father, looking very dapper, in the early ‘60s," Charles wrote alongside the photo, adding, "He did love a fountain pen."

It didn’t take long for followers to notice how much Charles and his dad look alike, so much so that it became the main topic in the comments.

"The resemblance is so strong," one person said. Another added, "So handsome! Like father, like son," while someone else noted, "Very handsome and you very much favor him!" Others agreed, writing, "I must say you have much of your father’s features," and one even pointed out, "Princess Diana looks just like him!"

The Spencer family genes clearly run deep. This isn’t the first time Charles has shared a photo that had fans amazed by the family resemblance. Earlier in September, he posted a portrait of his and Diana’s great-great-grandfather, Frederick Spencer, and the similarity was just as striking.

Along with that post, Charles shared a bit of family history.
