Louis Frederick John Spencer, Viscount Althorp (born 14 March 1994), is a British aristocrat and a member of the Spencer family.
Early life[]
He was born at St Mary's Hospital, London in Westminster, London, the fourth child and eldest son of Charles Spencer, 9th Earl Spencer, and his first wife, Victoria Lockwood. A nephew of Diana, Princess of Wales, and a first cousin of Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, and Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, he is the heir apparent to the Spencer earldom.[2]
A year after he was born, his family moved to Cape Town in South Africa, where he grew up.[1] Lord Althorp was a pupil at Diocesan College in Cape Town, and later enrolled at the University of Edinburgh.[3]
Viscount Althorp[]
English primogeniture law dictates that Lord Althorp, not his eldest sister, Lady Kitty Spencer, will inherit their father's title.[4][5] Property is divisable separately, but most peers choose to keep property and title combined.
