Princess Diana's niece just got engaged to a 60-year-old millionaire

From Cosmopolitan

Princess Diana's model niece, Lady Kitty Spencer (who, it's been noted, was once upon a time the spitting image of Princess Charlotte) is rumoured to be engaged to millionaire, Michael Lewis. At a reported 60-years-old, Michael is 31 years Kitty's senior.

It's believed that Michael, who made his money through the fashion industry (as the owner of high street shops Whistles and Phase Eight), popped the question before Christmas – and that Kitty's family more than approve, despite the age gap making Michael five years older than Kitty's father (Diana's brother), The Earl Spencer.

A source close to the couple shared that Kitty, who, like Michael, has strong links to South Africa, spent her Christmas and New Year in Cape Town with family. The same source also said, "Michael is loved by all of them. Despite his wealth, he's very humble and low key."

It's believed that the pair have been seeing one another since at least August 2018 and also enjoy spending time in his £19 million mansion in Regent's Park, London. As, quite naturally, you would expect - given that it has seven bedrooms, one can probably safely assume it's pretty luxurious.

The Daily Mail, who broke the story, also wrote that Kitty (who in that past has modelled for Dolce & Gabbana) was spotted with a glitzy looking ring on the appropriate finger after a recent trip to a Chelsea hair salon.

As with any royal (or in this case, royal-adjacent) wedding, we'll be keeping our eyes peeled for any snaps of the dress for their big day and of course, desperately be waiting to see what Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton (who recently celebrated her birthday) wear too. Congratulations, Michael and Kitty!
