Lady Katya Amelia Spencer Mallett (née Spencer; born 10 July 1992) is a British model and socialite. She is a daughter of Charles Spencer, 9th Earl Spencer, niece of Diana, Princess of Wales and first cousin of William, Prince of Wales and Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex.
Early life and family
Lady Katya Amelia Spencer was born on 10 July 1992 at St Mary's Hospital, London to Charles Spencer, 9th Earl Spencer, and his first wife, Victoria Lockwood. She was born a minute after her identical twin sister, Lady Eliza Spencer. Lady Amelia is a member of the Spencer family, an English noble family that holds multiple peerages. Her paternal aunt was Diana, Princess of Wales and she is a first cousin of William, Prince of Wales, and Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex. Lady Amelia has two older sisters, Lady Kitty Spencer and Lady Eliza Spencer, and an younger brother― Louis Spencer, Viscount Althorp ― and four younger half-siblings through her father's second marriage to Caroline Freud and third marriage to Karen Gordon and her mother's second marriage to Jonathan Aitken.[1][2]
She was raised in Cape Town, South Africa, where she attended Reddam House, a private school. After her parents divorced in 1997, Lady Amelia spent her time between her native United Kingdom with her father and South Africa with her mother. Spencer studied at the University of Cape Town.[3]
Career and public life
In 2025, she and her sister, Eliza, became brand ambassadors for Aspinal of London and were featured in a 1960s-inspired campaign.[4][5] Later that year, she attended the British Fashion Awards and the Fashion Trust Arabia Awards.[6][7]
Personal life
On 21 March 2023, Spencer married Greg Mallett, the nephew of former South African national rugby coach Nick Mallett, in South Africa. They met as undergraduates at the University of Cape Town.[8][9]
