Princess Diana's brother, Earl Spencer, shared a sweet childhood photo of the siblings taken in 1967.

Charles, who is the late Princess Diana's younger brother, took to social media to post the rare image with royal fans.

Earl Spencer, 56, left his Twitter followers swooning over the adorable snap taken of the pair as children on a summer's day in the 1960s.

In the photo, little Diana can be seen looking remarkably similar to her five-year-old granddaughter, Princess Charlotte, wearing a pink striped summer dress with her hair cut into a short, fringed style.
