Royal Family News – Charles Spencer Is Prince Harry and Prince William’s Uncle
The 9th Earl Spencer came into possession of a rare photo featuring his grandfather, Albert Spencer, with Queen Elizabeth II’s grandmother, Queen Mary.
In the caption, Spencer said, “My grandfather showing Queen Mary round Sulgrave Manor – Northamptonshire home to George Washington’s forebears. Rather a stiff official photographic record of the day – hopefully, they both enjoyed it all, rather more than their faces suggest…. #georgewashington #queensofengland #spencerfamily.”

One thing is clear and that is that Queen Mary looks very much like her granddaughter. Fans who saw the picture also commented on this similarity.
One posted, “You can just see our queen’s face in Queen Mary’s can’t you?” while another wrote, “The Queen is the spitting image of her grandmother.”
Royal Family News – Charles Spencer’s Royal Ties Go Way Back Beyond Princess Diana
Way back in the day, Sulgrave Manor was the ancestral home of George Washington. In 1914 it was purchased by the British American Peace Committee (which included the earl’s great-grandfather). Spencer’s grandfather was showing the area to Mary, who is 1910 was made queen consort.

The photo shows that Charles Spencer’s royal connections go back much farther than him being an uncle to the man in line to be king one day. His own ancestors had their own royalties and one eagle-eyed commenter wrote, “Who knew his great-grandson would be born to her great-grandson; both to be future kings of England. A very historic photo.”
At this time is it being reported that William is planning to modernize the monarchy in order to keep it relevant. It comes after his brother Harry has made a mission out of bad mothing the monarchy and making multiple outrageous claims against it. His actions include doing a salacious Oprah Winfrey Interview in which he and his wife Meghan Markle aired baskets of royal dirty laundry.
May the bigger, better-behaved brother win out.
