EARL SPENCER

does not appear to be the only member of his family conspicuous by his absence at the wedding of his daughter, Lady Amelia. Hello! magazine has devoted 25 pages of this week’s edition to the celebrations in South Africa, but there is not a single mention of Lady Amelia’s brother, Louis, who, as Viscount Althorp, is heir to the earl’s title and their Northamptonshire estate, Althorp, where Princess Diana grew up. Louis is said to have a better relationship with his historian father, Charles, than his sisters do. Louis attended Lady Kitty’s wedding in 2021 while their father was again absent. Friends say Princess Diana’s brother was not invited to the ceremony at which Amelia, 30, exchanged vows with fitness coach Greg Mallett, 33.
