The Spencers
Charles Spencer and Karen Gordon
Charles, 53, the 9th Earl Spencer, is the most high profile of Princess Diana’s siblings. In his eulogy at Diana’s funeral, the journalist and broadcaster criticised the Royal Family and the Press on their treatment of his sister.
In 1989 Spencer, then known by the courtesy title of Viscount Althorp, married his first wife, Victoria Lockwood, in Great Brington, Northamptonshire. The couple, who divorced in 1997, had three daughters and a son.

In December 2001 he married Caroline Freud, former wife of Matthew Freud. The couple had two children together, Edmund and Caroline. They divorced in 2007.
Spencer married his current wife, Canadian-born philanthropist Karen Gordon, in June 2011 at the family seat of Althorp House. They have one child together, Lady Charlotte Diana Spencer, named after his sister.
The couple reside at the Spencer ancestral seat, Althorp House, which he inherited on his father’s death in 1992.
Lady Kitty Spencer
High-profile: Lady Kitty, pictured at an event last week, is an established fashion model
Lady Kitty Spencer, 27, has forged a successful career as a model, most notably appearing in campaigns for Italian fashion house Dolce & Gabbana.
The socialite, who is signed with Kate Moss’s former modelling agency Storm, is a regular fixture at the world’s hottest parties and is sure to cause a stir at the Royal Wedding.
She is regarded as one of the most eligible young women on London’s social scene, having split from her property tycoon boyfriend at the start of the summer. Lady Kitty grew up in South Africa and is now based in Fulham.
Lady Eliza and Lady Amelia Spencer
Lookalikes: Ladies Amelia and Eliza, 25, with their elder sister Kitty, 27, at the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in 2011. All three are expected to attend
Twins Lady Eliza and Lady Amelia, 25, share their elder sister’s good looks but keep a much lower profile.
Like their sister, the twins were raised in South Africa and attended university in Cape Town.
In 2011 Lady Amelia appeared in a South African court accused of assaulting a man on crutches in McDonald’s. She was cleared of all charges.
Louis Spencer
Louis, 24, is the fourth child and eldest son of Earl Spencer and will therefore inherit his father’s estates and title ahead of his elder sisters.
He studied at Diocesan College in Cape Town and later enrolled at the University of Edinburgh.

Edmund and Caroline Spencer
The Vanity Fair report makes no mention of Edmund and Caroline Spencer, Charles’ children from his second marriage, receiving an invite to the royal wedding.
As Edmund, 14, and Caroline, 12, are still young, they perhaps wouldn’t attend the late-night after-party.
Lady Charlotte Spencer
Lady Charlotte Diana, five, is Earl Spencer’s youngest child and his only one with third wife Karen.
Like her half-siblings Edmund and Caroline, Lady Charlotte is not named in the Vanity Fair report and would be unlikely to receive a late-night party invite because of her age.
