Earl Spencer appeared to give a quiet seal of approval to Meghan Markle after her Althorp photos sparked backlash, with his wife's recent Instagram post serving as a "little-noticed" response, according to the Daily Mail's Richard Eden.
The Controversial Photo
Meghan Markle recently sparked criticism after sharing pictures from her break at Althorp, where her family visited to pay respects to Princess Diana's resting place. The Duchess of Sussex posted a series of photographs from the Sussexes' summer holiday in Europe, which included stops in Portugal and Britain.
Despite the duchess and her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, not making any public appearances during Prince Harry's trip to the UK last month, one of Meghan's snaps drew criticism. The picture showed Lilibet walking through formal gardens behind her brother and father in the distance.
Lord Spencer's 'Key Move'
Fans and critics were not impressed with Meghan sharing such a private photograph. However, Charles Spencer, who is thought to have spent time with the Sussexes, made a key move this week which reportedly shows where his loyalties lie.
According to Mr Eden, there was a "little-noticed" response from Lord Spencer that many fans may have missed. His wife, Cat, shared a new picture with a caption that read: "Today, @charles.earl.spencer took me to see the grave of his brother, John Spencer, who died just after birth on January 12th 1960. He was buried in a quiet corner of the church of St Mary Magdalen, Sandringham, next to their grandfather. A few years ago, Charles had John's headstone restored."
According to Mr Eden, there could have been "no clearer way for Earl Spencer to spell out that he approved of Meghan's social media posts from Althorp".
Private Meeting Not Shown
Meghan's post did not include any pictures from the family's private meeting with the King and Queen at Highgrove House.
