On July 24, 2021, Princess Diana’s niece, Lady Kitty Spencer tied the knot with Michael Lewis, a billionaire tycoon. The couple held their wedding ceremony in Italy, together with their closest family and friends.

Kitty’s husband, 32 years her senior, is five years older than her dad, Charles Spencer. Nevertheless, their love endured and finally became legally binding.

Lady Kitty Spencer Wore a Gorgeous Victorian Wedding Dress

Kitty was a vision in white on her wedding day as she exchanged vows with Lewis in a gorgeous Victorian dress. The doting bride donned a lacy Dolce and Gabanna gown that featured puffed long sleeves and a buttoned front detail from the top of her turtle neck until the bottom of the garment.

The dress with a cinched waist also featured a corset underneath the lace. Kitty’s wedding ensemble also had a long white train with lace details toward the edges.

She kept her makeup subtle for the occasion and neatly fixed her blonde hair in a low bun, showing her resemblance to Diana. In her post featuring her wearing the gown, part of her caption read:

“Thank you from the bottom of my heart Domenico & Stefano for creating a gown beyond my wildest dreams for the most important day of my life.”

Kitty also shared snippets of her final fitting on Instagram, detailing the wonderful time she had working with the fashion house. “Our fittings were filled with laughter, many happy tears, pure joy and unbridled passion,” she noted.

As Emanuel recalled, Diana lost about three inches off her waist during her wedding preparations, which was nothing short of unusual for brides.

During the reception that followed the nuptials, Kitty changed into her second gown: a pink short-sleeved dress with floral embroidery and a flowing hemline. She looked stunning in both her outfits for the celebration.

Interestingly, several guests also opted to wear Dolce and Gabanna pieces, including Viscountess Weymouth, fashion designer Jade Holland Cooper, and socialite Marjorie Gubelmann.

The newlywed couple held their wedding at the Villa Aldobrandini in Frascati, Italy, and seated several family members, including the bride’s brothers, Samuel Aitken and Louis Spencer, as well as her sisters, twins Eliza and Amelia Spencer.

Princess Diana’s Wedding Dress

Just like Kitty, her late aunt also had a gorgeous and iconic wedding dress. Diana chose Elizabeth Emanuel to design her gown ahead of her 1981 wedding to then-Prince Charles.

As Emanuel recalled, Diana lost about three inches off her waist during her wedding preparations, which was nothing short of unusual for brides. When she walked down the aisle, Diana had a slim 23-inch waist and looked absolutely gorgeous.

Emanuel, who was working with her husband, David, in designing Diana’s dress, described her as a wonderful and easy-going person.

Emanuel, who was working with her husband, David, in designing Diana’s dress, described her as a wonderful and easy-going person. She was a calm bride who gave them creative freedom to design her gown as they wanted. Like her niece, Diana’s gown also had long sleeves and a long train.

On the big day, Emanuel described Diana as calm and put-together. Meanwhile, he was panicked, scared of all the possibilities something could go wrong. Fortunately, the dress turned out well.

Who is Lady Kitty Spencer?

Besides wedding dresses, there’s more Kitty shares with her famous aunt. The eldest daughter of Diana’s younger brother, Charles Spencer, and his wife, Victoria, is also a philanthropist.

Much like the People’s Princess, Kitty holds charities close to her heart, including Centrepoint, an organization for the homeless youth that her late aunt supported. In 2016, Kitty quietly dropped by two Centrepoint bases to look into a project.

Kitty shared a glimpse of her visit on Instagram, sharing a preview of the charity’s mission. She also posted about some of the conversations she has had with young women who hope to be a midwife and dance studio owners.

Next in line to the throne and Kitty’s cousin, Prince William, is also a patron of Centrepoint. He once credited his mother’s role in the organization as a significant factor in helping him see life beyond palace walls.

“I was very struck by the people I met and what they were struggling with – sleeping rough, sofa surfing, not having basic comforts a lot of us take for granted,” he said.

Diana undoubtedly had a significant influence on the lives of those around her. Her brother, Charles, believed she had a special power that made people feel comfortable with her presence. “She could make any person, whether they were the grandest or the most humble, feel totally at ease in her company,” he said.

The enduring legacy of Diana persists in her sons through their philanthropic deeds and in their commitment to preserving and honoring her memory. However, along with the good memories they have with their mother come the bad ones, including her broken heart amidst divorcing her husband, then-Prince Charles.

Princess Diana claimed that her husband’s infidelity negatively impacted their family and affected the lives of their two sons, Prince William and Prince Harry. When her husband’s interview admitting adultery came out, she first thought of protecting her sons. Fortunately, both William and Harry grew up to be well-rounded family men.

A woman’s paragliding flight to conquer her fears ended in tragedy when she slipped off her seat mid-flight and fell to her death in a Colombian forest.

Daniela Barrios, 27, uploaded a photo to her social media account prior to the deadly flight and advised her friends and family that she was finally ready to get the better of her flying phobia.

‘Join me on my crazy things,’ her captioned read. ‘Let’s overcome a fear.’

Barrios and the pilot took off from the El Castillo mountain in the Quidío municipality of Calarcá on Saturday afternoon and during the flight fell from her seat while they were flying over the Pradera Alta trail, according to the Calarcá Fire Department.

Jackie Chan, the revered martial artist and venerated star of the screen, recently appeared in a video on a Chinese social media platform, showing off a full head of gray hair as he approaches his 70th birthday. The video, which quickly spread across the internet, was from a report by Sichuan Observation on Weibo and was shot during a special event in Luzhou, Sichuan.

The caption alongside the video highlighted Chan’s appearance at the Intangible Cultural Heritage Sealing Ceremony on March 11th, with Chan humorously comparing his age to the ancient brewing techniques of Luzhou Laojiao, saying, “Luzhou Laojiao’s brewing technique has a history of 700 years, and I am 70 years old.”

At the ceremony, Chan, who is a father-of-two, mentioned his strong connection with Luzhou and expressed his admiration for the event, which he was attending for the first time. He voiced a heartfelt desire to see Chinese kung fu prevail in every corner and the rich aroma of Luzhou Laojiao to be omnipresent.

As images of Chan’s transformed appearance surfaced, the internet reacted with a mix of shock and admiration. The Daily Loud’s shared photo of Chan’s new look garnered significant attention, prompting fans to voice their surprise and nostalgia. Comments ranged from stunned queries like “What happened to Jackie Chan?” and “Can’t believe he’s that old already” to expressions of disbelief such as “Yo I barely recognize him. A legend.” “He looks completely different” and “How?“

Fans reflected on their own disbelief with remarks like “Ahh, I couldn’t recognize him for a while” and “Unbelievable.” The collective sentiment echoed the reverence for the passage of time, with multiple fans remarking, “[What’s] happening to Jackie Chan?” and “Can’t believe that Jackie Chan is getting this old. Legend.“

Tolulope Michael, a cyber-security instructor and career coach, didn’t hide his emotions when sharing the viral photo, reflecting on the inevitable nature of aging and the bittersweet reality of seeing a childhood hero grow old. He recounted how Chan’s films from the ’80s, ’90s, and early 2000s continue to bring joy and how the anticipation for “Rush Hour 4” keeps the excitement alive.

His tribute, heartfelt and resonant, read: “Seeing one of the greatest actors of all time get old is really heartbreaking for me, even though getting old is a part of life. Jackie Chan is part of those actors that made our childhood fun. He was my childhood favourite actor and I still watch his 80’s 90’s and early 2000’s movies to watch again and relive those memories.” Michael shared that he loved Chan as a child and still felt that way. He shared that although he couldn’t bear to see Chan aging, he knew it was something he couldn’t escape.

In October 2017, when addressing questions about himself on social media, Chan’s responses were imbued with his characteristic wit and humility. To the query “How did Jackie Chan die?” he quipped, “Jackie Chan never dies.” Addressing retirement rumors, he confidently stated, “No. The movie business is so fun.”

He revealed that if he retired from acting, he would pursue directing. When asked if he lived in Mexico, he clarified, “No, Beijing. But I have an office in Shanghai, Taiwan… actually, I’m living around the world.” To the suggestion of immortality, he humbly responded, “Actually, no. I’m not immortal. I’m just ordinary people. I just have the guts to try everything.” And in the timeless debate of who would win in a fight between him and Bruce Lee, Chan graciously conceded, “Bruce Lee win. Let him win.”

Chan’s reflections on life and work, captured in his book “Never Grow Up,” resonate with his recent appearance: “…I don’t want to retire either. Sometimes I wonder if I should just vanish suddenly one day, pack a bag and fly a plane to somewhere. That might be the way to do it. But I probably never will. I hope that, when the time is right, I’ll know when to stop working. I’ll take care of myself. Or I’ll keep plugging away and fighting until the very end.”

The family’s collective presence on the red carpet captured the attention and hearts of onlookers and fans alike. Schuyler Fisk, one of their daughters, took to Instagram to document this memorable moment, sharing photographs of their family.

The first picture Schuyler shared offered a stunning view of their whole family against the backdrop of the Oscars’ red carpet. Both daughters, Schuyler and Madison, were dressed in similar black gowns that featured deep necklines and elegant slits. Both wore Sarah Hendler Fine Jewelry accessories.

Sissy chose a black long-sleeve top adorned with gold dotted designs, paired with classic black trousers and black heels. Meanwhile, Jack complemented the family’s color scheme perfectly with his all-black suit and bow.

Another snapshot shared in the post captured a candid moment between Jack and Sissy, with the “Coal Miner’s Daughter” star wrapping her hand around her husband’s arm, both sharing warm smiles.

Schuyler’s Instagram caption eloquently expressed the profound significance of the evening for her, highlighting not only the pride in her father’s nomination for his work on “Killers of the Flower Moon” but also the celebration of her best friend’s nomination for “Oppenheimer.”

She shared, “It’s hard to sum up how special this was for me. to be there cheering on not only my dad and his nomination for his extraordinary work on Killers of the Flower Moon. but to also be celebrating the nomination and stunning work of my best friend @ruthdejong on Oppenheimer was just beyond special.”

Many onlookers and social media users alike shared their thoughts on the post. Comments poured in, admiring the ageless beauty of Sissy and the stunning presentation of her family.

Fans and followers didn’t hold back their admiration, with comments such as “Goddesses!” “Omg you all look stunning,” and “How very special you all look amazing.. And beautiful mama Sissy, my Favourite actress,, iconic and legendary and one of the BEST ever [sic]” flooding Schuyler’s post.

The sentiment was echoed on Twitter, where users expressed their awe. “Sissy Spacek looks GORGEOUS on the red carpet,” one Tweet read. “Jack Fisk & Sissy Spacek – exactly how I’d rock up to the oscars tbh [sic],” another echoed. “Power couple Jack Fisk and Sissy Spacek,” a third agreed.

Sissy and Jack’s relationship has been one of Hollywood’s most enduring love stories. Having met on the set of “Badlands,” their connection blossomed into a partnership that has withstood the test of time since their marriage in 1974.

Sissy, reflecting on her role in “Night Sky,” mentioned how her deep, long-standing relationship with Fisk helped her connect with the character. “That’s what attracted me to this role,” she said. “I understood that deep, deep [connection] and long time growing up together. I understood the relationship.”

Despite their success and status as public figures, Sissy and Jack have chosen to lead a life away from the constant scrutiny of Hollywood, making a home for themselves and their daughters on a Virginia farm since 1978.

“We moved there not because we didn’t love L.A., but we wanted to raise our children in a more natural environment,” Sissy shared. “[An environment] where they could make mistakes, ride ponies, do stupid stuff, and climb trees and not have to deal with that celebrity child thing.”

During those years, Sissy and Jack scheduled their work in a way that one would always be at the farm. As Sissy’s career peaked, her husband held the fort in their home. He enjoyed his days fixing their farm and raising horses.

This decision underscored their desire to provide a normal, grounded upbringing for their children, away from the celebrity spotlight. This retreat became not just a home but a sanctuary for creativity and simplicity, where they balanced their careers with family life, ensuring one was always present for their daughters.

Interestingly, despite their parents’ efforts to shield them from the industry’s glare, Schuyler and Madison gravitated toward the entertainment world.

Schuyler has made a name for herself as an actress and musician, while Madison has followed a path behind the scenes as a production designer and art director. Sissy humorously notes that despite their rich experiences, their children don’t seek them out for relationship advice, underscoring a family dynamic that is as independent as it is close-knit.

Recently, the couple transformed their barn into a creative studio for painting and music production. Sissy Spacek enthusiastically praised her husband’s artistic talent, acknowledging the significant influence he has had on her.

She attributes her considerable achievements to their life on the farm and the strong bond she shares with her husband, emphasizing their mutual understanding and support for each other’s passions. She also praises him for his sense of humor which puts a smile on her face.

As Sissy embarks on her 70th year, she marvels at the vitality of their relationship and the swift passage of time. Her passion for gardening is evident in the addition of peonies and boxwood trees to her garden, a space she has made stunning through her dedication.

Sissy cherishes the tranquility of farm life, especially moments spent on her porch with a portable fan, soaking in the beauty of her environment. Her husband’s humor is another aspect she treasures, describing it as so exceptional that it borders on the absurd.

When discussing the evolution of her relationship with her daughters, Sissy notes a role reversal, with her daughters now looking after her, guiding her confidently through airports and other activities.

She reflects on how her daughters value their upbringing and now contribute to her care. Sissy mentions that her eldest daughter, Schuyler, has inherited her musical talents, while her youngest excels in visual arts, much like her father.
