Lady Kitty Spencer has shared a stunning carousel of pictures of her holiday in Cape Town. Kitty, who is the niece of the late Princess Diana, uploaded a plethora of exotic photographs, many of which featured her two-year-old daughter, Athena.
"Cape Town camera roll," she penned, alongside the sunshine-filled images. Her toddler daughter featured in the majority of the pictures, and in one shot, wore a beautiful blush pink dress that boasted a statement rectangular collar in white.
This regal-style design had a traditional, elegant touch, and it looked just like a dress that Athena's great aunt wore in 1984.
Princess Diana's statement collar
Prince William's mother was famously pictured at Trooping the Colour in 1984 while pregnant with her youngest son, Harry.
Diana looked the picture of elegance in her pastel blue Jan Van Velden maternity dress, which featured a statement rectangular collar - just like Athena's holiday look.

Lady Kitty's remarks on Princess Diana's style
Kitty, who is married to businessman Michael Lewis, was just six years old when her aunt passed away.
In an interview with Best Quality Designer Handbag 's sister publication, H! Fashion, the model, who is signed with Select Model Management, touched on Diana's influence in the fashion industry. "I think she's iconic, and I suppose it’s such a wonderful thing that her fashion influence is still enduring today. She was a great ambassador for British fashion," she quipped.

I dress for my shape, and I like anything that goes in at the waist. I make sure my clothes are nicely tailored and classic but still feminine – I don't like anything too fussy."
