As royal watchers will know, this week has been all about celebrating Prince Charles’ 70th birthday.
There was candid official portrait, a touching speech given by his mother, Queen Elizabeth II and numerous celebrations that actually started back in May.
The Clarence House Twitter account has also shared a sweet photo montage of Prince Charles from his youth to now, with fans picking up on a subtle tribute to his late ex-wife, Princess Diana.
At around the 1.30 minute mark of the video, there is a monochrome photo of the Prince and Princess with a young Prince William and baby Prince Harry. The photo was taken in 1985 during the family’s three-week tour of Italy on the Royal Yacht Britannia. Princes Charles would have been 37 at time, Princess Diana just 23 and Prince William and Harry are three and one years old respectively.

Of course she should be included. She was a part of his life, mother of his children, and mother of the future King of England.
The late Princess Diana was very ill-used by her husband. He was and is spineless, in marrying her just to produce an heir, whilst at the same time continuing an affair with his married lover. It does neither he nor his current wife any credit and in my view he is unfit to become monarch, not least because of his ''Defender of The Faith'' role. The thought that Camilla can become a consort is horrendous. She should have stayed tucked away in one of his homes. I have absolutely no respect for either of them. Diana was manipulative and behaved badly at times, but, he took a relatively young and naive woman and totally betrayed her. I fear for the monarchy after H.M, who has been a tremendously successful monarch, warts and all.
Yes, as a woman born and bred into an aristocratic family, I am sure she and her family was completely naive about how the Royal Family is. I'm personally pretty sick of all these insinuations that Diana was completely unaware of how things worked. If she was so wet behind the ears, and truly clueless, the people who really let her down were her own family who should never have allowed her to marry into the Firm in the first place. The Royals have never pretended to be anything other than what they are.
