Princess Diana's Nieces Amelia and Eliza Spencer Coordinate in Chic Black Gowns and Sparkling Diamonds

The 32-year-old twins arrived at the 2024 British Fashion Awards in sophisticated black gowns — and dripping in diamonds

Princess Diana's nieces, Lady Amelia Spencer and Lady Eliza Spencer, chicly coordinated at the 2024 British Fashion Awards.

The 32-year-old twins, daughters of Diana's brother Charles Spencer, 9th Earl Spencer, complemented each other in elegant black gowns while attending the Monday, Dec. 2 event at Royal Albert Hall in London.

While both wore off-the-shoulder black sheath silhouette gowns, they opted for different necklines and accessories. Amelia donned a v-neckline with two thin black off-the-shoulder sleeves. She completed her look with an eye-catching diamond choker, matching diamond bangle and three diamond rings with a similar setting to her triangle-shaped diamond drop earrings.

Amelia’s glam mirrored her sister’s, as both arrived with their blonde hair in sophisticated sleek buns and brown eye-shadow looks with a brown-nude lip gloss.

Although their hair and makeup resembled, Eliza’s gown and accessories differed. Eliza wore a velvet gown with a straight-across neckline and a lantern off-the-shoulder sleeve. Her diamond accessories included an intricate wrap-around choker with diamonds on the perimeter, which she paired with an identical bracelet and diamond ring. Her earrings were diamond cuffs.

In 1995, when the two were 3 years old, their family - including their father, mother, Victoria Aitken, older sister, Kitty, and younger brother, Louis - moved to South Africa. Their parents divorced in 1997, months after their aunt Princess Diana died in a car crash in Paris at age 36.

In a March 2021 interview, 26 years after their aunt’s tragic death, they spoke to Tatler about their special connection to her as children.

Eliza said that when their father explained what happened to the late Princess, she replied, “‘But not in real life, Daddy,’” believing it was the ending of a fairytale.

Princess Diana was "incredibly warm, maternal and loving," Eliza said, adding, "She always made an effort to connect with us as children and had a talent for reading children's hearts."

"We always just knew her as our aunt," Eliza said. "Growing up in South Africa, I really had very little idea of how significant she was in the world until I was much older."

"As a child, I realized the enormity of the loss for my father and family," she added. "It was only later that I came to understand the significance of the loss of her as a figure in the world."
