Lady Kitty Spencer has finally unveiled her daughter's sweet moniker in a touching update.
Taking to Instagram on Sunday, Kitty, 33, uploaded an adorable black-and-white image taken by photographer Susheel Schroeder which showed her sweetly kissing her tiny daughter on the cheek. For the touching photoshoot, the model looked chic dressed in a smart lace top and high-waisted jeans.

Lady Kitty's journey to motherhood
Lady Kitty announced she and her husband Michael Lewis had welcomed their first child in March on Mother's Day, as she shared a beautiful montage of her walking on a beach holding her little one.
She wrote: "It’s the joy of my life to be your mummy, little one. I love you unconditionally. Happy Mother's Day to those who celebrate today."
Kitty had previously hinted at her wish to start a family of her own during a candid interview with Town & Country magazine, but she emphasised her desire to keep that part of her life out of the spotlight.

"I just look forward to a really happy home life: a happy marriage and happy children. And I feel very at peace that things play out the way they should."
The model, who is the daughter of Charles Spencer, 9th Earl Spencer and his first wife, Victoria Aitken, married millionaire businessman Michael in a lavish wedding ceremony at the Villa Aldobrandini in Rome in July 2021.
On her big day, the bride wore multiple gowns, all of which were designed by Dolce & Gabbana, for whom she is a brand ambassador.
