Princess Di's niece to marry millionaire five years older than her dad

Princess Diana’s 29-year-old niece Lady Kitty Spencer is marrying a multi-millionaire fashion mogul who is five years older than her dad.

Lady Kitty is the eldest child of Earl Spencer, 55, who is Diana’s brother.

Michael Lewis, 60, who is currently the chairman for South African retailer Foschini, asked the model to marry him just before Christmas.

The South-African fashion designer is worth an insane $152 million and is a divorced dad with three adult children.

An insider told the Daily Mail: “She’s been in Cape Town for the holidays and told her mother and the rest of the family. Michael is loved by all of them. Despite his wealth, he’s very humble and low key.”

Their relationship was first revealed in August after Lady Kitty’s four-month relationship with property mogul Niccolo Barattieri di San Pietro ended.

The pair went public as they strolled through New York City and were spotted kissing after leaving Club 55 in St Tropez last year.

Previously, the socialite said she was not “in any rush” to start a family but could see herself having children in the future.

She added: “I do have friends my age who are having children, and they are so, so, sweet, but I think everyone should do things in their own time.”
