She put up a photo of Prince Charles with her grandfather, Earl Mountbatten to go with the post. And added:

“His Royal Highness might be celebrating a 70th birthday this year but, goodness, he is far from ancient… I am lucky to have such a Godfather, but we are all lucky to have such a Prince among us.”
