In a candid interview with Tatler, Lady Kitty Spencer, alongside her sisters Lady Amelia and Lady Eliza, delves into their family's enduring commitment to charitable causes, personal milestones, and the profound impact of Princess Diana's legacy. This revealing conversation highlights their dedication to Centrepoint, a charity that supports homeless youth, and offers an intimate look at their lives beyond the public eye.

Empowering Lives Through Generations of Dedication

The Enduring Impact of Centrepoint

The year 2025 marks two decades since Prince William, now the Prince of Wales, began his patronage of Centrepoint, a charity close to his mother Princess Diana’s heart. During a recent visit to Centrepoint Ealing in London, William reaffirmed his commitment to this cause. His efforts have not only continued his mother’s legacy but have also inspired others, including his cousin, Lady Kitty Spencer. Kitty, who serves as an ambassador for Centrepoint’s independent living program, emphasized the practical support the organization provides. “Centrepoint goes beyond offering shelter; it equips young people with skills and confidence,” she remarked. The charity’s holistic approach includes job training, interview preparation, and even outfitting individuals for interviews. This comprehensive support system aims to break the cycle of homelessness and foster self-sufficiency.

Family Ties and Shared Values

In discussing Princess Diana’s influence, Kitty noted, “She brought attention to Centrepoint, making it a cherished part of our family’s philanthropy.” She expressed immense pride in her cousin William’s ongoing dedication. “William has consistently championed this cause, ensuring that vulnerable youth receive the help they need,” she added. The Spencer sisters’ involvement underscores the family’s commitment to social issues, reflecting Princess Diana’s compassionate spirit.

Mental Health Advocacy and Personal Reflections

The sisters also opened up about mental health, a topic both William and Catherine, the Princess of Wales, have passionately advocated for. Eliza, in particular, highlighted the importance of therapy, stating, “I’ve seen a therapist for many years, and I believe everyone should have access to such support.” She stressed that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Amelia shared insights into her own experiences, emphasizing the value of having an external support system. “It’s crucial to talk to someone outside your inner circle,” she said. The sisters’ openness about mental health reflects a growing awareness and acceptance of these issues within society.

Life Beyond the Spotlight

Beyond their public roles, the sisters revealed personal aspects of their lives. Kitty spoke fondly of her daughter Athena, describing her as a spirited child who enjoys outdoor activities. “Athena is incredibly energetic and loves being outdoors,” she said. The twins, Amelia and Eliza, play a significant role in Athena’s life, creating a close-knit family dynamic.Kitty also reflected on her wedding in Italy, where she wore five Dolce & Gabbana dresses. “Italy holds a special place in my heart,” she explained. “Stefano and Domenico crafted my dress, embodying elegance and tradition.” After becoming a mother, Kitty acknowledged a shift in her priorities. “I’m more selective now, focusing on what truly matters,” she said, finding contentment in this balance.

Cultural Identity and Sisterhood

Despite being British by birth, the sisters spent their formative years in South Africa. While Kitty feels distinctly English, Eliza identifies strongly with her South African roots. “South Africa holds my happiest memories,” she said. Amelia, meanwhile, finds it difficult to choose between the two cultures. Their bond remains unbreakable, with each sister serving as a support system. In a playful moment, they discussed who was the most adventurous during nights out. Eliza jokingly took the crown, though they all agreed dancing wasn’t their forte. Regardless, their camaraderie shines through, illustrating the depth of their sisterhood.
