Having graced the cover for Tatler’s March issue Amelia gave her first joint interview with twin sister Lady Eliza, and spoke of her impending wedding plans.

The 28-year-old revealed she could marry at Diana’s former home, Althrop house, where her father still resides today.

“It’s our family home, it’s beautiful. We would be very lucky to get married there.”

However, it’s not the only location in contention, with Amelia admitting South Africa, where she and Eliza were raised, it also being discussed.

“Cape Town is where we grew up and there is a possibility that we might do it here, too.”
