We already knew that Princess Diana's brother, Charles Spencer, is a big history buff. The 9th Earl Spencer has published a number of titles that analyze British history, one of which just became a #1 bestseller on Amazon. And when it comes to his family history, the royal is just as diligent about searching for facts.
A couple months ago, Spencer revealed how his ancestors' connections to the royal family go much further back than when the late Princess of Wales married Prince Charles. In fact, the earl found an unearthed snapshot, where his grandfather was seen showing Queen Elizabeth's grandmother, Queen Mary, around Sulgrave Manor.
But that's not all. Now, it looks like Spencer has discovered even more connections between the two bloodlines. The earl shared a photo of three of his family members, with a caption that said, “My grandfather, great aunt and great uncle - Jack, Lavinia and Cecil Spencer - setting off for a fancy dress party in 1902.”
The 9th Earl Spencer revealed a special connection to the royal family, saying, “Lavinia married a local aristocrat, and served the late Queen Mother as a Lady In Waiting, when the Queen Mother was Duchess of York: she and Lavinia were childhood friends.”
