Passing Down Heritage: A Spencer Family Tradition

Lady Kitty has expressed a desire for Athena to understand the rich history of both sides of her family. In an interview with Tatler in 2024, she spoke about her intention to pass down treasured heirlooms, specifically a pair of handbags belonging to her great-aunt, Lady Anne Spencer, and her great-grandmother, Cynthia, daughter of the Duke of Abercorn.

“I’ll definitely give them to my daughter one day. [They are] so special to pass on. It’s lucky to have our family history so accessible to us, so we can understand where we came from,” she explained.

The Spencer family continued their celebrations with a festive outing to LaplandUK in December 2025. Hello! Magazine detailed the trip, noting the similarity between Athena’s experience and those of Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
