Classy pix of William and Harry's cousins

The girls at the royal wedding: Amelia, Eliza and Kitty

Three blonde heads, all tinted a perfect sunny platinum, with three Philip Treacy fascinators perched on top. Three beautiful faces, disconcertingly similar ? with wide blue eyes and a delicately feminine jawline.

Has there ever been a more photogenic triple-dose of society dynamite than Lady Kitty, Amelia and Eliza Spencer? The girls, daughters of Princess Diana?s brother Earl Spencer, were lined up in a row in Westminster Abbey at the Royal Wedding.

Some commentators felt that, with their shrimp-pink lipstick, obvious cleavage and heavy black kohl, the ?look? was more Baywatch than Burke?s Peerage.

In particular, Lady Kitty?s nude-toned Victoria Beckham dress ? which was tight and low cut ? was dubbed the ?convention buster? of the day. Tatler magazine didn?t hail the 20-year-old as the most eligible girl in the country for nothing.

Kitty?s twin younger sisters, who are 18, were dressed by Errol Arendz, a designer based in Cape Town who is a long-standing friend of their mother, Victoria Lockwood. He chose a nude shift for Eliza and a navy dress for Amelia.

Naturally, the Spencer girls? many supporters in South Africa, where they have been raised, are enraptured after this triumphant and high-profile society debut.

Chu Suwannapha, the fashion editor of the country?s popular Fairlady magazine, said that they looked ?amazing and sensual? and added: ?Generally, the Earl?s three daughters are always well-dressed. Their styles are quite sexy and laid back.? If anything, Suwannapha said their dresses were ?a little bit too conservative?.

But if you think the Spencer girls were rather racy at the wedding, that?s nothing to their exotic lifestyle in South Africa.

For proof of this we need only glance at photographs of the three sisters, posted by their Facebook friends and on other websites. Some of them border on what might be regarded as pornographic.

All three girls are pictured laughing as they pose in their micro-mini-skirts, while simulating sex acts; one gesture ? by Lady Kitty ? is so crude that it cannot decently be described. (LOL)

The girls smooch and kiss and dance with friends; they show V-signs to the camera. Alcohol is seldom absent in the pictures.

Inevitably, such pictures have invited less than complimentary website comments. ?Well, aren?t William and Harry?s cousins such prim and proper ladies,? says one subscriber to a website for royal watchers.

Perhaps these raunchy photographs were taken during a rare moment of excess.

The sisters are still young, of course; and away from the vibrant Cape Town night scene they enjoy, there is doubtless a far more respectable side to them. Yet it is hardly a flattering portrait. One wonders what their mother, Victoria Lockwood, a recovered alcoholic, thinks.

And remembering his stirring eulogy at Diana?s funeral ? when he pledged that her ?blood family? would do all in their power to steer William and Harry along the right path, and protect them from the paparazzi ? what must Earl Spencer make of their cavorting?

Lady Amelia hit the headlines recently after an alleged fight outside a McDonald?s in Cape Town. She was accused of common assault after claims she ?swore at, smacked and kicked? a man on crutches. But last month she was cleared of all charges.

Eliza and Amelia are just embarking on college life ? Eliza at Varsity College and Amelia at the University of Cape Town.

Kitty is finishing her degree and is determined to shine. ?I?m sick of being compared to other people and I just want to achieve stuff in my own right, for my self-worth and self-respect,? she says.

She has also been busy designing her own range of casual wear and wants to include evening dresses, jewellery and possibly her own perfume, too.

Were they to behave like this in London, say, or New York, Kitty, Amelia and Eliza would never be out of the headlines.
