She has often been compared to her late aunt, Princess Diana
And there is no denying that Kitty Spencer bares an uncanny resemblance to the people’s princess.
The blonde locks, those big blue eyes, and the same facial bone structure…
Kitty who is the daughter of Princess Diana’s brother Charles Spencer, was only 6 years old when her beloved aunty tragically passed.
However, it’s not just their obvious striking features that both the women have in common. There is something else that binds them together according to makeup artist Mary Greenwell who recently worked with the 28 year old model and niece of Diana for a recent shoot with Harpers Bazaar.
She tells the magazine, “To have Kitty with me in the makeup chair, it just took me back in time,”
The below image was posted by the high fashion, glossy magazine and the caption reads, “@kitty.spencer is finally stepping into the spotlight. You may know our spring 2019 digital cover girl as Princess Diana’s niece, but we know her as fashion’s rising star. The model talks taking on the fashion industry—and how she’s handling newfound fame. Link in bio for the full fashion shoot and interview.”
Kitty’s mother Victoria was also a model, and Mary notes a certain similarity between all three women from the British aristocracy, “Diana was so willing and open—as is Victoria, and as is Kitty. Just sort of free—there’s a sense of freedom with all of them,”
However there is another, more meaningful attribute that Spencer shares with her aunt according to Greenwell who tells Bazzar, “Kitty also shares Diana’s compassion, investing her time in philanthropic work, particularly as an ambassador for U.K. youth homelessness charity Centrepoint—Diana was patron of the organization, a role now held by Prince William—and a trustee and patron for the U.K. military-family charity Give Us Time. Both she and William have taken part in Centrepoint’s Sleep Out, a series of events in which high-profile figures join fundraisers in sleeping on the street for a night to raise awareness about homelessness.”
Similar not just aesthetically, but also in heart and mind. Princess Diana’s legacy definitely lives on through her family.
