Princess Diana’s niece takes style tips from royal relative Princess Charlotte

Princess Diana’s niece, Lady Kitty Spencer, is currently enjoying a summer holiday with her toddler daughter, Athena.

We have been loving the stunning pictures that the blonde beauty has been sharing of her little girl, and her wardrobe is pretty impressive for a two-year-old!

On Saturday, Kitty showed her child in a lovely frilled dress, which reminded us of the floral frilled dress that Princess Charlotte wore in 2023.

Little Charlotte made her Wimbledon debut that year, and stylishly took her seat in the Royal Box alongside her mother and father, the Prince and Princess of Wales, and her older brother, Prince George.

 It was such a sweet style – formal yet unfussy, and the ideal summer staple. 

Perhaps Kitty has taken inspiration from her royal relative when dressing her daughter?

The HELLO! Royal Club spoke to Melanie Sanderson, managing editor of The Good Schools Guide, who exclusively told us the school she backs for Prince George’s number one choice.

 Charlotte’s viral dress moment

The daughter of Princess Kate is just as much of a style icon as her mother. She regularly causes sellouts when she is spotted in new clothes.

When Charlotte turned six, the royal family released a beautiful image celebrating her birthday. In the snap, she wore a lovely floral Rachel Riley dress. The ultra-pretty frock was printed with a blooming floral montage. It featured puff sleeves and a kitsch button front. At the time, it cost £59 and has since proved to be the fastest-selling item in the brand’s history.

Rachel couldn’t believe it when she saw the young royal wearing one of her designs. She exclusively told HELLO! “It was a delightful surprise, I wasn’t expecting it at all, and was gardening at the time! I became aware of the picture when my friends and family started sending me messages asking if the dress was one of ours!”

Charlotte’s dress sold out within 12 hours, and it jaw-droppingly sold six months’ worth of the dress in just three days. Rachel recalls: “We had so many messages from customers asking if they could still order it, so we set up a pre-order system, and it will be back in stock in a few weeks. It’s our fastest-selling royal item, ever!”
