Lady Kitty Spencer has shared a never-before-seen childhood photo of her younger twin sisters to celebrate their birthdays.
The 33-year-old socialite took to Instagram to share a gushing post celebrating her “two rays of sunshine” – Lady Eliza and Lady Amelia Spencer, who turned 32 yesterday.
Among a series of glamorous photos of Princess Diana’s twin nieces, Kitty shared a monochrome photograph of them during their childhood.
The twin daughters of Charles Spencer and his first wife Victoria Aitken, who spent their childhood between Constantia, South Africa, and their family estate, Althorp, looked adorable as they posed outside in the snap.
Kitty wrote: “Happy birthday to my two rays of sunshine and thank you for being the best sisters, friends and aunts I could ever wish for. I wish you both many blessings always and I love you with all my heart, always.”
Lady Kitty Spencer shared a childhood photograph of her younger twin sisters, Lady Amelia and Lady Eliza Spencer, to celebrate her 32nd birthday yesterday.
The twin sisters moved from Cape Town to London in 2021 and emerged from the shadow of their older sister, Kitty.
After signing with Storm Model Management, they quickly began starring in magazine spreads and attending fashion shows around the world.
At these high-profile events, Princess Diana’s nieces often show off their stunning “twin” fashion, characterized by vibrant colors and striking silhouettes.
Amelia and Eliza have previously said they hope to fulfil long-held ambitions – Amelia hopes to become a wedding planner and Eliza dreams of being an interior designer.
In March, Earl Spencer’s eldest daughter announced she had secretly given birth to her first child with husband Michael Lewis, 65, making the twins aunts for the first time.
Although Kitty did not confirm the sex of her baby in her Mother’s Day post, her younger sister Lady Eliza praised her “perfect niece” in the comments.
This comes after Princess Diana’s twin nieces looked stylish as they attended the second day of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships.
Earlier this month, Lady Amelia and Lady Eliza, nieces of the late Princess Diana, flocked to the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London to watch the action live.

The twins, whose father is Diana’s younger brother Charles Spencer, looked typically dapper for the occasion, wearing matching Holland Cooper suits in contrasting colours to match the event’s theme of white and green.
To add more glamour, the socialite twins wore a pair of stylish sunglasses at the tennis event.
Amelia and Eliza opted for equally bright makeup, with a hint of blush emphasizing their rosy cheeks. The twins styled their blonde locks in similar loose waves for the occasion.
Amelia and Eliza join a host of celebrities heading to Wimbledon, including Dave Grohl and his wife, Jordyn Blum.
Other European royals in attendance on day two of Wimbledon included Greece’s Prince Pavlos and his glamorous daughter Princess Olympia.
This comes after Princess Diana’s niece Lady Kitty Spencer, and older sister of Amelia and Eliza, revealed the name of her baby daughter.
The proud mom shared a new photo of her daughter on Instagram and revealed her name to her 713,000 followers in the caption.
The black and white image showed Kitty kissing her daughter’s head as she sat on a windowsill.

The proud mother wore a lace-trimmed shirt for the portrait, while her daughter wore a bee-print dress.
The image was taken by London-based photographer Susheel Schroeder, who has previously shot portraits for British Vogue beauty director Jessica Diner and reality star Vogue Williams.
Lady Kitty captioned the image: “Athena watching the world go by.” The post has racked up over 32,000 likes in 24 hours, with fans gushing over the “beautiful” nickname.
One wrote: “Oh honey… Athena is so beautiful! Just like her mommy.” “Congratulations,” added another. “She is so precious. I love her name.”
“What a fantastic Greek name,” said a third. Kitty’s sister Lady Amelia added: “A perfect angel.” Meanwhile, Lady Eliza wrote: “Puppy!”
Lady Kitty, then 30, married billionaire Michael Lewis at the Villa Aldobrandini in Frascati, a stunning country mansion overlooking Rome, on July 24, 2021.
After delaying their wedding for two years due to the pandemic, celebrations stretched over three days and were attended by close friends including pop star Pixie Lott and the Marchioness of Bath.

The bride, a global brand ambassador for Dolce & Gabbana, wore five dresses by the designer over the weekend.
For her main wedding dress, Kitty opted for a Victorian-inspired white lace gown with a high neck, puffed sleeves and a cinched waist. The design was inspired by her mother Victoria Lockwood’s wedding dress, which featured buttons down the front.
Designer and fashion house co-founder Domenico Dolce later said of Kitty’s wedding outfit: “She told us she thought of us immediately and we were very happy with that!”
“These have been very beautiful and emotional moments,” Dolce said. “One of the inspirations is, without a doubt, her love for Italy. Kitty is in love with our beautiful country and its rich history, art and culture.”
Stefano Gabbana said: ‘But she is also a girl who is very attached to her origins, to England, to her heritage from the great Victorian era. And like all English people, she has a great passion for all kinds of flowers.’
Princess Diana’s famous Spencer tiara was not present at the ceremony. Instead, Kitty opted for an elegant veil, intricate headpieces and flower crowns that complemented each of the respective dresses.
The couple exchanged their vows between floral arches. Music was provided by a pianist and a singer positioned to the right of the couple.
Mr Lewis wore a kippah and Lady Kitty is believed to have received instruction in the Jewish faith before the ceremony.
The smiling newlyweds walked back down the aisle holding hands as guests threw pastel-colored confetti into the air.
The celebrations continued into the evening with dancing and a live band and the night ended with a spectacular fireworks display.
