The couple’s first child was born at Althorp, the Spencer family home, last Monday, weighing 8lb 14oz. She is the first Spencer baby to be born at the ancestral pile since 1793.
Earl Spencer, 47, pictured with the radiant Countess Spencer, 39, and their daughter, was present at the birth and tells me he is delighted to be a father for the seventh time.
The Earl and Countess Spencer are delighted to announce the birth of their daughter, Lady Charlotte Diana Spencer
He said: ‘She’s adorable – another feisty little Spencer girl. We hadn’t settled on a first name before the birth, but Charlotte is a name we both loved, and it really suits her. We knew that as soon as we saw her.
Royal moniker: Charlotte has been named after her late aunt Princess Diana
‘And, though it’s been 15 years since Diana died, I still miss her every day, and I very much wanted her commemorated in the naming of our daughter.’
The late Princess of Wales is buried in the grounds of Althorp where Earl Spencer married Karen Gordon in June last year.
Earl Spencer has six children from his previous two marriages while the Countess Spencer has two daughters from her marriage to film producer Mark Gordon. ( dailymail.co.uk )
