She's wealthy businessman and entrepreneur James Packer's niece.

And according to The Daily Telegraph, Francesca Packer-Barham is now officially off the market.

The 22-year-old brunette is said to be dating Englishman Charlie Watson, after putting on an amorous display at Sydney's Gold Dinner, last week.

Million-dollar girlfriend! James Packer's niece Francesca Packer-Barham, 22, was reported in Sunday's The Daily Telegraph to be officially off the market, dating Englishman Charlie Watson

The publication stated that Francesca was accompanied by her 34-year-old beau Charlie at last week's Gold Dinner event.

Raising over $2 million for Sydney Children's Hospital, the black tie soirée saw the pair putting on an amorous display.

Sporting a black plunging frock, Francesca flaunted her ample cleavage and curvaceous frame.

Former flame: Francesca previously dated Joshua Mullane

Split: Francesca was last with Kelli Holland, calling time on their relationship in April last year

A snap posted to the starlet's Instagram account prior to the bash, saw Francesca dressed in the same frock, wrapping her slender arms around a suave-looking Charlie.

Charlie, who is said to work in finance, donned a tailored suit jacket, crisp white shirt, slim-fitting trousers and black dress shoes.

'When Mr Watson comes to town,' Francesca captioned the photo.

Francesca previously dated Kelli Holland, calling time on their relationship in April last year.

Making her own mark: Francesca has expressed little interest at joining her uncle James in the casino world. The brunette is said to be the driving force behind the setting up of a $200 million National Philanthropic Fund, The Sydney Morning Herald reported

Meanwhile Francesca, the eldest grandchild of Kerry Packer, is currently in Australia after moving to London earlier this year to study a $50,000-a-year interior design course, at the prestigious Inchbald School of Design in Chelsea.

Having previously begun a psychology degree at Sydney University, Francesca has expressed little interest at joining her uncle James in the casino world.

But Francesca is passionate about charity work, said to be the driving force behind the setting up of a $200 million National Philanthropic Fund, The Sydney Morning Herald reported.

Fortune: The budding entrepreneur will also inherit a slice of her mother Gretel Packer's $739 million fortune alongside her brothers Benjamin and William

The budding entrepreneur will also inherit a slice of her mother Gretel Packer's $739 million fortune alongside her brothers Benjamin and William.

An avid Instagrammer, the heiress told Fairfax Media last year that she believes her grandfather Kerry, who died in 2005, would have been a fan of social media.

'He loved TV because you got to see it - it was in front of your face - which is Instagram. Everything is online, everything is at the touch of your finger,' Francesca said.

'Maybe the privacy and over-sharing, he'd be a little bit, "Woah, what is going on there?" but I think that's how most people would react who haven't experienced the level of openness that my generation seems to find very, very exciting.'
