Louis Spencer, the cousin of Prince Harry, is poised to inherit Princess Diana’s childhood home, the 13,500-acre Althorpe estate in Northamptonshire.

This controversial tradition grants Louis ownership of the property, despite having three older sisters.

As the eldest son and the spitting image of his red-haired cousin, the 27-year-old has been dubbed “Prince Harry Light” and is the heir apparent to the Spencer Earldom.

Known for his privacy, Viscount Althorpe has been described as a decent and kind actor by his elder sister, Lady Kitty Spencer.

During a discussion about male primogeniture, the tradition that dictates Louis as the inheritor, Kitty acknowledged the changing times and attitudes surrounding this topic.

She expressed her confidence in Louis, stating that he will do an incredible job because of his gender.

Louis has already begun preparing to take over the aristocratic estate, attending several trustees meetings.

The Grade 1 listed stately home, Althorpe House, along with the Earldom, will be passed down to him.

In 2015, Princess Diana’s brother, the current Earl Spencer, voiced his support for this tradition, stating that it aligns with the historical significance of Althorpe.

Princess Diana spent her formative years at Sandringham and Althorpe House, which served as her home before marrying Prince Charles in 1981.

Althorpe House, spanning 100,000 square feet with 90 rooms and a portrait gallery, holds great sentimental value for the family.

Additionally, they own properties in London, Northamptonshire, Norfolk, and Warwickshire.

Following Diana’s tragic death in 1997, she was laid to rest on a small island within the estate’s ornamental Round Oval Lake.

Born in 1994, Louis grew up in Cape Town alongside his sisters.

He is the youngest of Earl Spencer’s four children from his first marriage to Victoria, which ended in divorce in 1997.

Louis later relocated to the UK and pursued his studies at the University of Edinburgh.

The Telegraph reports that friends describe him as a quiet and talented actor.

One acquaintance praised his low-key and genuine personality, emphasizing his kindness and height.

Jonathan Shallott, chairman of the Inter Talent Agency, commented on Louis’ potential in the acting industry, highlighting both his appearance and family name.

Shallott believes that his American audience will particularly appreciate him, as his name alone will open doors to exciting roles due to his good looks.

In conclusion, Louis Spencer’s impending inheritance of Princess Diana’s childhood home has sparked interest and controversy.

As the tradition of male primogeniture persists, Louis prepares to take on the responsibilities and privileges associated with Althorpe estate.
