The 27-year-old model is taking the fashion world by storm.

Meet Lady Kitty Spencer, the stylish Brit with a royal connection.

The eldest daughter of Princess Diana's brother Charles Spencer, Kitty was just six when her aunt died tragically in a car crash.

Kitty, who was spotted at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding, recently walked the ramp for Dolce & Gabbana's latest collection. 

Tatler, a British literary and society journal, has named her as 'one of the most eligible girls in Britian', and she is friends with Irish milliner and London based fashion designer Philip Treacy

Jewellery brand Bulgari's latest brand ambassador, the blue-eyed model is big on philanthropic work.

She loves to travel and is a certified jet-setter. This pic was taken at Orpheus Island, Australia.

She never wanted to become a fashion model.
When Kitty was in England, she took up modelling jobs for friends, and that's when she got addicted to the fashion world.
Represented by Storm Model Management, which handles the work of supermodels Kate Moss and Cara Delevingne, Kitty has rubbed shoulders with supermodels like Naomi Campbell on the ramp.
