Princess Diana’s Granddaughter Rejected by Father Because She Has a Husband 32 Years Her Senior

Until 2015, the rule in the British monarchy and among British aristocrats was to pass titles and property to the first son, even if he had an older sister. Now absolute primogeniture applies, meaning the inheritance goes to the eldest descendant, regardless of gender.

As a result, Lady Kitty Spencer, 32, would have Althorp, the gigantic country house that has been in her family since 1508. There, on a small island, lies the body of her aunt, Princess Diana, who died at the age of 36 in a car crash in 1997. But the brother of King Charles’s ex-wife, Earl Charles, confirmed days ago that he will not favor his firstborn. He intends to pass all the possessions to his son, Viscount Louis, 30.

According to the tabloids, the decision would be a punishment for Kitty for her marriage to the South African billionaire Michael Lewis, 65, 5 years older than his father and from a Jewish family, while the Spencers are Anglican. The count – recently separated from his third wife – did not attend the ceremony held in Italy in 2021, nor did he speak when she gave birth to her first granddaughter. Disapproval of the age difference between his daughter and her husband would be the reason for the breakup.

Unaware of her father’s machismo, Kitty continues her routine as a model and fashion influencer. She cultivates a strong bond with the Dolce & Gabbana brand. Like Diana, she has the title of dame, inherent to the daughter of a nobleman. She lives with Michael and his daughter Athena in a mansion in London. The couple enjoys a fortune equivalent to R $ 500 million.
