Lady Amelia’s engagement comes less than a year after her older sister, Lady Kitty Spencer, 29, got engaged to entrepreneur Michael Lewis, 61. “Michael proposed to Kitty before Christmas,” a source told The Daily Mail in January 2020. “She’s been in Cape Town for the holidays and told her mother and the rest of the family. Michael is loved by all of them. Despite his wealth, he’s very humble and low key.”

In a 2019 interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Lady Kitty opened up about how interest in the royal family has increased since her cousin Prince Harry married Meghan Markle in May 2018. “It was definitely unexpected,” she said of how her social media following increased after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s nuptials. “[My Instagram followers] went from 17,000 to half a million in one night. I thought I had someone else’s phone when I woke up the next morning.”

She continued, “I had to turn my notifications off because my phone was going to die. [I thought,] ‘Can I still FaceTime my cat and put it on my Stories?'”

Lady Amelia’s engagement also comes after the recent wedding of Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi. The wedding, which was attended by royal family members such as Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, was held at Windsor Great Park in Berkshire, England on July 17. Though Princess Beatrice’s cousins, Prince Harry and Prince William, and their wives, Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton, did not attend, both couples sent their well wishes to the newlyweds. There also reports that Princess Beatrice and Mozzi are ready to start a family soon after their nuptials.

“The couple decided to hold a small private ceremony with their parents and siblings following the postponement of their wedding in May,” Buckingham Palace said in a statement at the time. “The ceremony was attended by Her Majesty The Queen and His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh, the couple’s parents and siblings. The Bride was walked down the aisle by her Father. Mr. Mapelli Mozzi’s son Wolfie was best man and pageboy.”
