Princess Diana’s niece Lady Kitty Spencer, 28, and her 60-year-old £80m Whistles fashion tycoon boyfriend spotted leaving luxury New York hotel where Meghan Markle held her baby shower

  • This is first-ever picture of Lady Kitty Spencer with her fashion tycoon boyfriend
  • Relationship between 28-year-old and Michael Lewis first revealed last August 
  • When leaving a hotel in Manhattan, they apparently tried to avoid being spotted 

A suave ‘silver fox’ steps out of the exclusive New York hotel where Meghan Markle had her baby shower, followed discreetly by a far younger, stunning blonde a few feet behind.

This is the first-ever picture of Lady Kitty Spencer with her fashion tycoon boyfriend, Michael Lewis – who at 60 is more than twice her age.

Last August, The Mail on Sunday first revealed the relationship between Lady Kitty, the 28-year-old niece of Princess Diana, and the owner of the Whistles high street chain.

But the pair have remained coy about their romance ever since.

Even as they left The Mark Hotel in Manhattan on Thursday, the society couple apparently tried to avoid being spotted together by carefully orchestrating their exit.

He came out first and waited on the sidewalk; only when their cab arrived did she emerge to join him, and the pair were whisked away.

Lady Kitty has been branded the ‘naughty niece’ for her regular appearances on the London party circuit alongside the cast of Made In Chelsea – a lifestyle she proudly documents on social media.

She was previously in a four-year relationship with another older man, property magnate Niccolo Barattieri di San Pietro, 48, who left her in 2017 and began a romance with Liz Hurley, 53.

Lady Kitty’s new beau, Mr Lewis, is six years older than her father, Earl Spencer. An onlooker in New York told The Mail on Sunday: ‘As they left, Michael was lingering by the front door, with Kitty inside.

‘Once Michael spotted their Uber, Kitty came out. Both kept their heads down and walked quickly to the car.’

Chosen by the Duchess of Sussex for her lavish baby shower in February, The Mark is now one of the most fashionable hotels in the world. 

Its penthouse costs £50,000 a night, making it the most expensive in the US. 

But money is almost no object for South African-born Mr Lewis, who is worth £80 million. 

The divorced father of three children – all in their 30s – owns a £19 million Central London mansion where Lady Kitty has also been spotted.
