In a heartwarming post on Instagram, the image showed Earl Spencer on a garden swing, with Diana stood by his side and Frances behind them pushing the swing.

Mum Frances would have been 31 at the time, Earl Spencer was three years old and Diana was around six.

Earl Spencer reflected on the picture and the “happy” times with his older sister at Althorp estate in West Northamptonshire.

The post read: “My mother, Diana and I, in 1967. I would have been three, and Diana five or six. I love how happy each of us looks.

“At this stage of my life, my mother nicknamed me ‘Buzz’ – because she saw me as having the endless energy of a rather happy – and busy – bee.”

Hundreds rushed to the comments to agree how much a young Diana was the spitting image of Princess Charlotte.

One person said: “You can really see Princess Charlotte in Diana in this photo!!”

A second added: “Diana looks just like Charlotte. Great memory!”

Another wrote: “Princess Charlotte is the spitting image of Lady Diana. The memory of your wonderful sister lives on.”

A fourth commented: “That was the first thing I thought. Charlotte looks just like her grandma Princess Diana.”
Camilla and Diana are completely different. The new Queen is kind, lovely and supportive
And it isn’t the first time that the similarity has been drawn.

In 2020, Prince William and Princess Kate released a series of family snaps to celebrate Father’s Day and Wills’ birthday.

It showed the dad-of-three playing with George, Charlotte and Louis on a swing and rolling around on some grass.

Thousands commented on Charlotte’s smile and said it was similar to her grandma, who’s the inspiration behind one of her middle names.

Princess Diana sadly died at the age of 36 when the car she was travelling in crashed in a Paris tunnel on August 31, 1997.

It has been 27 years since she passed away – with members of the public able to visit a memorial to pay their respects.

Diana’s remote grave however, can only be visited by family.
