Tuesday, July 29 marked 44 years since Prince Charles married Lady Diana Spencer at St. Paul's Cathedral, and while memories from their royal wedding have flooded the media, Diana's brother shared a more personal glimpse at his sister's life. Charles, the 9th Earl Spencer, posted an adorable summer photo of himself and Diana as children on a day when he no doubt was thinking about his late sister.
"A long ago summer, by the swimming pool at our childhood home, Park House, Sandringham - Diana and I both proudly showing off our swimming badges (sewn onto our swimming costumes)," Earl Spencer captioned his Instagram post. In the faded black-and-white snapshot, the siblings pose in front of a pool, with Diana wearing a swimming cap and belted one-piece bathing suit covered with patches.
The earl noted that their badges "were awarded (sparingly) by Mrs Lansdowne, a fairly terrifying but very gifted swimming instructor, who came to stay each year," adding, "We were never out of that pool."
