LADY AMELIA SPENCER’S SPECIAL BOND WITH BROTHER SAMUEL AITKEN

When Princess Diana’s niece, Lady Amelia Spencer, had to choose someone to walk her down the aisle, the choice was obvious – her younger half-brother.

The bride and groom, Greg Mallett, tied the knot during a lavish ceremony on 21 March 2023 at Quoin Rock Manor House just outside Cape Town, Hello! reports.

During an interview with the Hello! Amelia explained her brother’s special role:

“He’s the other love of my life, so it made so much sense that it was Samuel who walked me down the aisle. He was born when I was 11, and we have a very, very special relationship.”

“He even said in his speech at the wedding that up until the age of seven, he believed I was his ‘other mum’. Samuel is so special to Greg and I, so it just made sense,” she said.

Amelia’s father, Princess Diana’s brother, Earl Charles Spencer, did not attend the wedding.
