We have long since stopped expecting a Lady to look like — well — a lady. But in the case of Lady Kitty Spencer, hailed on the cover of this month’s Tatler magazine as ‘Diana Princess of Wales’s most ravishing niece’, we have a Lady who is a bona-fide bombshell.
Lips parted to show a Bardot-esque hint of bite, she is all tousled bed-hair, glowing skin and traffic-stopping cleavage.
Indeed, the photos inside the magazine show her Sloane bosom barely restrained by the designer gowns she models. Not for nothing does younger sister Amelia call her by the vulgar nickname ‘t**s’
Her father Charles Spencer — the 9th Earl who has a reputation as one of the least charming men in the country — was said to be furious with this latest piece of media stardom.
‘They had a really big row about it a few weeks ago,’ I’m told, although a representative of the family strongly denied that this fight had occurred. But, bluster as he might, it doesn’t seem anything is going to stop 24-year-old Kitty, his eldest daughter, from striving to become famous in her own right.
And she has the looks, connections and money-making media savvy to do just that. Move over Pippa Middleton, there’s a glamorous new star in town.
Professionally, she is represented by Paula Karaiskos, who also looks after Kate Moss at the Storm model agency.
She has one dainty foot in the party-hard London scene, via a close friendship with leggy Lady Violet Manners, 22, the Duke of Rutland’s daughter. These two and Violet’s younger sister Alice can be found in bars like Loulous in Mayfair, and at high-end parties around Europe.
Kitty’s also on warm terms with her cousins Prince William and Prince Harry, but not in the inner circle of either.
Kitty and her equally striking two sisters first grabbed Britain’s attention when they attended William and Kate’s wedding in 2011. Indeed, with her golden hair and big blue eyes, Kitty bears a real resemblance to Diana. But any mention of this seems to be met with blushes. ‘Gosh, if you think that then I am really happy,’ she told one interviewer.
And while she might not dine out on this royal link — she only ever says she has ‘happy memories’ of Diana — there is no doubt that Lady Kitty is making waves in London.
‘Kitty is one of the most eligible women in London,’ a source told me. ‘She is not one of these super discreet, rather dull members of the royal circle, she is warm and fun. She is really enjoying being the centre of attention.’
Lady Kitty is also close to a number of the crowd from reality TV show Made In Chelsea, having been to prep school with former cast member Amber Atherton. Like her telly pals, she seems happy to accept freebies in exchange for plugging products on social media.

Indeed, unless she is just exceptionally grateful by nature, there is evidence of this unseemly trade-off all over her Instagram account, which has 10,400 followers. When she goes to a party, she routinely thanks a hairdresser, stylist, make-up artist, whoever supplied the designer clothes, and invited her. ‘Thank you for my blow-dry!’ she will exclaim. ‘Love my beautiful @CaratLondon jewellery’ and so on.
A recent trip down under for the Melbourne Cup came courtesy of Emirates airline, who sponsored the horse race. Lady Kitty mentioned Emirates on all her Instagram posts for several days of her holiday.
Add to this her habit of charming well-connected millionaires, and you have a young woman who seems very canny indeed.
Pictures of Kitty beaming at parties with middle-aged rich men — typically a mix of fashion designers and businessmen — are a staple of her social media account.
But the happiest news for potential suitors is that she is single.
