Louis Frederick John Spencer, a nephew of Princess Diana of Wales, has already been advertised at Tavistock Wood, a well-known talent agency with which the aristocrat will try to succeed in the world of acting. He graduated last September from ArtsEd London, one of the most prestigious performing arts schools in the UK. Thus, the eldest son of the current Earl of Spencer, and who as his heir holds the title of Viscount Althorp, could go from being the less media-focused Spencer to the one best known for his new career.
About to turn 29, Lady Kitty Spencer’s brother has been very low-key to date. Unlike some of his sisters, who are the image of luxury brands or their love affairs cause scandals, Louis had not attracted attention for anything beyond his image as a leading man and for being considered by Tatler as one of the golden bachelors. most valued in the world. It was at the wedding of his cousin Prince Harry with Meghan Markle, in 2018, when he drew attention to his good looks.
According to several British tabloids, Louis Spencer does not want to become famous for being Lady Di’s nephew, and for this reason he has decided to discard his well-known last name from his stage name. He is sold in the aforementioned actor agency as Louis John Lyons. In the same agency, prominent names such as Lily James, Rebel Wilson, Russell Brand, Alicia Vikander, Dustin Hoffman or Eva Green are advertised.
Louis is the son of Charles Spencer, the well-known brother of Princess Diana, and his first wife, model Victoria Aitken (née Lockwood). Before Diana’s death, the couple moved with their four children to South Africa in 1995 to avoid harassment from the media.
The future actor will eventually inherit Althorp House, the estate where Diana of Wales spent her youth and which has belonged to her family for 19 generations. Despite not being the eldest son of the count, he is the firstborn male, so he will inherit all the illustrious assets of the family. Earl Spencer was determined to carry on the family tradition, so it’s clear that Louis will be his successor. “He would be totally satisfied with Kitty being the heiress, but … if he chose Kitty it would go against all the tradition that goes with Althorp,” he told British media.
