Lady Kitty Spencer put on a stunning display in florals as she holidayed in the south of France with her mother and rarely-seen husband.
Princess Diana’s niece, 34, was seen arriving at Le Club 55 in Saint Tropez on Tuesday afternoon alongside Victoria Aitken, 60, and Michael Lewis, 66.
The model and her husband held hands as they walked to the beachfront restaurant alongside her lookalike mother, Victoria, who looked as chic as her model daughter in a white linen dress.
Kitty, the eldest child of Victoria and Charles Spencer, opted for a red floral co-ord, with the cropped bralet top revealing her flawless figure.
She styled her blonde tresses in an updo for the outing, and added a straw beach bag and sunglasses to protect her from the French rays.
Kitty’s South African multi-millionaire husband put on an equally summery display in a pale blue shirt and matching striped beach shorts.
Lady Kitty, then 30, wed the multi-millionaire Michael Lewis at the Villa Aldobrandini in Frascati, a gorgeous country mansion with views out towards Rome, on July 24, 2021.
Having delayed their wedding for two years due to the pandemic, the celebrations stretched across three days and were attended by close friends, including the pop star Pixie Lott and the Marchioness of Bath.
The pair have since welcomed their daughter Athena, who was born on April 29, 2023.
Kitty’s trip to France isn’t the only holiday she’s enjoyed this summer, and earlier this month, she shared a selection of snaps to Instagram during her trip to The Hamptons, Long Island.
Princess Diana’s niece shared a fleeting glimpse of her billionaire beau, 66, during the sun-soaked trip to the affluent summer destination.
The 34-year-old model and aristocrat shared a carousel of enviable snaps from the picturesque getaway.
Kitty’s eagle-eyed followers were quick to spot her rarely-seen partner in a sweet clip with their daughter Athena, two, at the beach.
The video showed Kitty and South African-born businessman Michael holding the hands of their little girl as they paddled in the waves.
Kitty, who looked casual in jean shorts and a white T-shirt, swept her blonde locks back in a hair clip as she accessorised with designer sunglasses.
Elsewhere, her husband looked summery in a blue linen shirt and matching shorts as he held Athena’s hand in the water.
Kitty also shared several more pictures of the retreat, including one of her and her mini-me daughter relaxing on the sand in matching knit jumpers, which featured the American flag.
In another snap, the blonde beauty can be seen in the garden tending to flowers with her lookalike daughter.
Lady Kitty has kept her relationship largely out of the public eye, rarely sharing photos of him on social media and choosing to step out solo for most red-carpet events.
The model caught the eye of business tycoon when they met through mutual friends in 2018.
Lady Kitty has made a name for herself in the fashion world, as a spokesmodel for Dolce & Gabbana, who supplied five dresses for her wedding, and walking in several Fashion Weeks across the globe.
Meanwhile, Michael knows a thing or two about fashion as well, being the chairman of the Foschini Group, which owns British high street chains Whistles and Phase Eight.
The businessman has a £19million property in London and another home in his native South Africa, where his wife grew up after her Charles, the 9th Earl Spencer and his first wife, Victoria Lockwood, divorced.
Michael comes from wealth, thanks to his grandfather’s furniture retail business, which was founded in the 1930s.
Stanley Lewis, Michael’s father, bought a stake in the closing retailer Foschini Group in the 1980s, with Michael later taking his place on the Foschini Group board.
The tycoon has been the board’s chairman since 2015 and presides over a vast retail empire.
Michael, who is five years older than Lady Kitty’s father, wed his first wife in 1985, and the pair welcomed three children before eventually calling it quits.
It is thought that the businessman and Kitty met through friends in 2018, with their relationship being made public when the pair were spotted leaving a New York hotel together in 2019.
He proposed to the society model shortly before Christmas 2019 and their engagement became public in January 2020.
His three adult children from a previous marriage attended his and Lady Kitty’s Italian nuptials in 2021, and the socialite is understood to have formed strong relationships with her husband’s children.
Michael and Kitty had their first child together in April 2023, and they shared a rare glimpse of their daughter Athena to mark her second birthday this year.
Kitty took to Instagram to share a heartwarming message about her little one alongside a series of intimate family snaps.
The little girl has a stock of blonde hair just like her mother and was shown running on beaches, on an Easter Egg hunt and toddling through London.
‘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,’ the model, who is a first cousin of Prince William, wrote.
Alongside the beautiful message, Kitty shared several pictures including one of her dressed in a white crotchet co-ord as she held her little girl, dressed in a blue and white dress, as they walked along the beach.
In a second black and white picture, the socialite bent down on the sandy beach and could be seen beaming as she chatted to Athena – who she secretly gave birth to in April last year.
And that wasn’t the only birthday message for the toddler who received equally charming posts from her aunts Lady Eliza and Lady Amelia.
In a separate social media post Eliza, 32, shared a picture of her elder sister playing with Athena on a beach in Cape Town, where the family grew up.
Dressed only in a white shirt with her blonde locks falling over her shoulders, Kitty reached out to her daughter who wore a matching white Broderie Anglais dress.
Eliza also shared a close up black and white photo of Athena feet in the sand and wrote alongside the adorable snaps: ‘Happy 2nd Birthday to my sweetest little love. You are my whole heart, and I love and cherish you more than you will ever know. Thank you for giving us the greatest gift @kitty.spencer’.
Taking to her Instagram story the model also poked fun at her sisters Kitty and Amelia, sharing a picture of the toddler in a pink toy car.
She wrote over the picture: ‘Already better than her mummy and aunties’.
And Eliza’s twin sister Amelia also got in on the action sharing previously unseen family pictures including a black and white one of little Athena climbing up some steps while her mother Kitty holds her hands.
