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.

Her little girl, meanwhile, looked so precious as she posed in a cotton dress adorned with miniature bees.

Sharing her daughter's name with the world, Prince William and Prince Harry's cousin captioned her post: "Athena watching the world go by" followed by a white heart emoji.

Kitty's fans and friends flocked to the comments section to heap praise on the mother-daughter duo. Gushing over her little daughter's name, one follower wrote: "Such a beautiful name!," while a second chimed in: "What a gorgeous name" and a third added: "Gorgeous photo of you both."

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.

"It's not that I don't place an importance on love. It's because, for me, love is the most important thing in the world, and I will protect it with all my heart by not making it a topic of discussion," she said.
