Princess Diana’s Niece Lady Kitty Spencer Adorably Twins with Daughter, 2, in Italian Vacation Photos

Lady Kitty Spencer had a matching moment with her 2-year-old daughter, Athena, on a family vacation.

Although Princess Diana’s niece usually keeps her young child out of the public eye, she shared rare photos of Athena — always concealing her face from the camera — in a July 24 Instagram post sharing highlights from their visit to Italy.

“Under the Tuscan sun,” Lady Kitty, 34, captioned the post, containing numerous photos from the getaway.

The first set of snaps showed the mom and daughter twinning in purple and white dresses by Dolce & Gabbana, for which Kitty serves as a global brand ambassador.

Lady Kitty’s Majolica Print Poplin Dress, which retails for $1,995, perfectly paired with the mini version of the ensemble, available for $845, worn by Athena. They wore the coordinating outfits as they checked out the Leaning Tower of Pisa, took a ride on a carousel and checked out a car that matched their ensembles!

“Purple is Athena’s favourite colour at the moment, so the Fiat 500 was a hit!” Lady Kitty wrote.

Other photos showed the mother and daughter wearing different styles — Lady Kitty in a strapless floral print dress while Athena wore a red dress with a white hat — as they took in some scenic outdoor settings.

Lady Kitty — the eldest daughter of Princess Diana’s brother, Charles Spencer, 9th Earl Spencer — was born in the U.K. and grew up in South Africa, but she has a special connection to Italy. She wed fashion mogul Michael Lewis in Frascati, Italy, in 2021.

Kitty announced that she was a mom in March 2024 on U.K. Mother’s Day, sharing a photo with Athena on Instagram. She wrote, “It’s the joy of my life to be your mummy, little one. I love you unconditionally.”

In a social media post celebrating Athena’s second birthday in April, Lady Kitty wrote, “Two years of you lighting up our world, my darling Athena. You are sunshine and joy and all things magic. My little girl forever. How proud I am to be your mummy. I love you more than you could ever imagine or I could ever articulate.”

In an interview with Tatler from earlier this year, Lady Kitty described her daughter as a “little Taurus” who is “very outdoorsy and like a little spinning top.”

Lady Kitty added that Athena is “very similar” to her twin sisters, Lady Amelia and Lady Eliza.

“It’s so funny…so cool for her when she has these two aunts that come bursting through the door,” Kitty said. “I don’t think she thinks there’s an age gap.”
