The late Princess Diana’s niece originally planned her wedding to her millionaire fiancé for 2020, but it was delayed by Covid-19 and travel restrictions

#ICYMI: Lady Kitty Spencer, cousin to Princes Harry and William, married her millionaire businessman fiancé Michael Lewis in a ceremony in Rome on Saturday. Lewis is the chairman of South African fashion giant, the Foschini Group.

Spencer, 30, and Lewis, 62, dated for more than two years after reportedly meeting through a mutual friend. Spencer moved into Lewis’s US$26 million London mansion in 2020 and has previously spoken about redecorating it during the Covid-19 pandemic.

So how did their nuptials go down, and just how OTT were they?

After their wedding reportedly got postponed last year because of Covid-19 and travel restrictions, the couple finally exchanged their vows during over the golden hour of sunset at the Villa Aldobrandini in Rome. Kitty’s father, Earl Charles Spencer (brother of the late Princess Diana) attended the wedding along with Kitty’s twin sisters, Eliza and Amelia, and her brothers Louis and Samuel. Kitty’s mother, former British model Victoria Aitken, was also there.

Harper’s Bazaar reported that celebrity guests included Pixie Lott, Idris Elba and Made in Chelsea’s Mark-Francis Vandelli.

The details

Kitty’s brothers, Louis Spencer and Samuel Aitken, walked her down the aisle after a reported injury meant her father could not do the honours, according to Hello magazine.

Pink and white flowers filled massive vases on the pathway to the palace as guests made their way in. Of course, expensive wine and champagne was ordered for the big day too.
