Charles took to Instagram with the photo and captioned it:"My mother – on this, her 85th birthday.

This portrait is to be found in the Library at @althorpehouse.
The image is clearly of high sentimental value to Charles, and is framed in a gold rococo style mirror.Elsewhere, the Earl has more framed family photographs on display in the home, including one of his sister Princess Diana on his desk, as seen in a photo taken of him in the Library in 1990.

The property was previously owned by the siblings' father, Earl John Spencer, before Charles, the 9th Earl Spencer, took over. It has a total of 90 rooms inside and covers 550 acres of land.
