Princess Diana's younger brother, Charles Spencer, frequently shares family photos on his Instagram account, and on January 20, he posed a photo of their late mother, who would have celebrated her 90th birthday on Wednesday. In the black-and-white photo, Frances Shand Kydd wears a chic head scarf as she poses on a rocky beach, and fans jumped into the comment section to point out how much Diana resembled her mother.
In his caption, Earl Spencer noted that his mother "died far too young, in 2004, aged 68." While the earl famously gave the eulogy at Princess Diana's 1997 funeral, he also spoke at his mother's service, speaking of the tragic deaths that impacted Shand Kydd's life.
"I gave the eulogy at her funeral - recalling all the joy she brought and gave; as well as reflecting on the terrible ordeal she had to endure, burying two of her children," Spencer wrote in on Instagram. In addition to Princess Diana, Shand Kydd also lost a baby boy named John, who died within hours of his 1960 birth.
