Princess Diana's brother, Charles Spencer, currently runs his family's ancestral home, Althorp.

"The King is genuinely shocked," another royal source explained. "Even people who usually refuse to comment on Harry and Meghan are wincing. The feeling is that some family moments are simply too sacred to share."

Despite The Firm reportedly being furious over the Suits star's Instagram post, Diana's brother, Charles Spencer, was apparently fine with the social media buzz.

"Earl Spencer knows every headline brings attention to Althorp," the insider said. "More interest in Diana's resting place is ultimately good for the family estate."
