Princess Diana’s brother, Charles Spencer, has seemingly responded to Meghan Markle’s controversial photos taken at the late royal’s former home.

On July 23, the Duchess of Sussex shared images on Instagram from her family’s summer holiday, including a snapshot taken at the grounds of Althorp House.

Shortly after, Charles's wife shared her own personal family moment on Instagram, with his reported "agreement."

On July 23, the Duchess of Sussex shared photos on Instagram from her family’s “Summer Holiday ☀️,” including a snapshot of her, Prince Harry, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, exploring the grounds of Althorp House.

Diana spent her teenage years at Althorp, and she is buried there on a small island.

“It has been decided to bury Diana, Princess of Wales, in the grounds of Althorp Park, where her grave can be properly looked after by her family and visited in privacy by her sons," Charles said in a statement after his sister's death, per People.

Meghan’s images sparked criticism online, with some calling the photos taken at Diana's former home and gravesite "shameful" and others accusing Meghan of “cashing in” on Diana’s legacy.

However, Charles appeared to show support for the photos. Shortly after Meghan's post, with his reported “agreement,” his wife, Cat Jarman, shared her own images from a gravesite.

Rather than Diana’s resting place, the photos showed that of John Spencer, Diana and Charles’s brother, who died shortly after birth more than six decades ago.

“Today, @charles.earl.spencer took me to see the grave of his brother, John Spencer, who died just after birth on January 12th 1960,” Jarman wrote.

She continued, sharing details about his resting place. “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.”

“The church is right next to Park House, where Charles and his siblings grew up,” Jarman added. “I loved seeing these parts of Norfolk where he had what sounds like a gloriously happy childhood!
