A relative of Prince William and Prince Harry is about to come into a huge inheritance.
While most people are familiar with the royal family and their extended relatives, the princes’ Spencer-side cousins are much less well known.
It has been decades since Princess Diana’s passing in 1997, and her family tends to keep a low profile. However, her nephew Louis is now in the spotlight as he prepares to inherit the Spencer fortune.
At 31, the actor has largely stayed out of the public eye, but he’s making headlines now as he’s set to receive a staggering $130 million (£100.26 million) from the family estate.
Louis, also known as Viscount Althorp, was even named one of Britain’s most eligible bachelors by Tatler in 2019.
The publication described him as “tall, debonair, and very handsome.”
He even attended Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s wedding, showcasing his signature Spencer features—strikingly similar to Harry’s—which earned him the nickname “Harry Lite.”
As the eldest son of Princess Diana’s brother, Charles, and his first wife, Victoria Lockwood, he holds a unique place in the family.
Despite having three older sisters—Kitty, Amelia, and Eliza—they were unable to inherit the family fortune due to the long-standing male primogeniture rule, which ensures the eldest son receives the estate and wealth.
