Cape Town - The Prince of Wales penned his first Instagram post, which he shared on Tuesday ahead of his trip to India, E! Online reports.
While the 70-year-old Prince of Wales' office often shares updates on his and wife Camilla’s official royal duties, this marks the first time that Prince Charles himself shared a statement on social media, People reports.
The photo features himself and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, during their trip to India in 2017, and includes a lengthy caption, FOX News reports.

View this post on Instagram As I depart for India, on my tenth official visit, I did just want to convey my warmest best wishes to all of you in the Sikh Community in the United Kingdom, and across the Commonwealth, on the 550th Birth Anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev Ji. The principles on which Guru Nanak founded the Sikh religion, and which guide your lives to this day, are ones which can inspire us all – hard work, fairness, respect, and selfless service to others. In embodying these values, Sikhs have made the most profound contribution to the life of this country, and continue to do so, in every imaginable field, just as you do in so many other places around the world. This week, as Sikhs everywhere honour the founder of your faith, my wife and I wanted you to know just how much your community is valued and admired by us all, and that our thoughts are with you at this very special time. . - HRH The Prince of Wales #RoyalVisitIndia #Gurupurab550A post shared by Clarence House (@clarencehouse) on Nov 12, 2019 at 2:22am PST

This isn’t the first time that a British royal personally shared a message rather than have their social media account managers do it for them.
Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, launched their own Instagram account and their first post featured a quote from the couple in the caption. And in March, Queen Elizabeth signed off on her own first Instagram post in honour of her visit to the Science Museum in London.
It seems Prince Charles has taken a page out of their book.
