The internet was abuzz on Friday with fans of Charles Spencer going gaga over a rather cheeky photo he shared of his peacock, Tim. The ninth Earl Spencer, known for his grandeur and aristocracy, delighted his followers with an at-home snapshot of Tim perched on a gate at Althorp House.
In the picture, Tim the peacock exuded regal charm with Althorp’s stables as the backdrop. The vibrant and shiny blue feathers of Tim caught the attention of fans who flooded the comments section with adoring messages. Fans expressed their admiration for Tim’s company and majestic aura that only he can carry with such elegance.
It is not the first time that Charles has shared glimpses of his life at Althorp House on social media. Previously, his estranged wife, Countess Spencer, used to post updates regularly. Unfortunately, the couple recently announced their divorce, leaving fans and well-wishers saddened by the news. Charles expressed his desire to focus on his children and grandchildren post the separation.
Charles and Karen married in 2011 after a blind date set up in Los Angeles the year before. The couple tied the knot at Althorp, where Princess Diana, Charles’ late sister, is buried. They welcomed their daughter, Lady Charlotte Diana Spencer, in 2012. Despite having children from his previous marriages, it is Charles’ son Louis who is set to inherit Althorp due to primogeniture.
Addressing the contentious issue of primogeniture, Charles raised the question of fairness in inheritance traditions. He pondered whether it is just for the eldest male child to inherit the family estate or if there should be room for other considerations. Charles believes that not all his children may share the same sentiment towards the property, but he remains hopeful that at least a few of them will carry on the legacy.
As Charles Spencer navigates through personal challenges and family dynamics, his social media updates continue to captivate his audience. While the news of his divorce may have saddened many, the majestic presence of Tim the peacock and the timeless beauty of Althorp House serve as a reminder of the enduring legacy of the Spencer family. Despite the trials and tribulations, Charles remains committed to preserving the heritage and history of Althorp for generations to come.
