Lady Amelia Windsor: 8 things you need to know

Lady Amelia Windsor made her Fashion Awards debut last night wearing one of this season's most desirable looks - a sheer Dior gown.

She’s 36th in line to the throne

Lady Amelia Windsor is the granddaughter of the Queen’s cousin, Prince Edward, Duke of Kent and daughter to George Philip Nicholas Windsor, Earl of St Andrews and Sylvana Palma Windsor, Countess of St Andrews, the latter of whom is a historian at the University of Cambridge.

Tatler crowned her “the most beautiful member of the royal family”

In April 2016, Windsor made her debut on the cover of Tatler – the first royal to do so in eight years. The society bible crowned the then 20-year-old “the most beautiful member of the royal family”.

She studying at the University of Edinburgh

Windsor is a second-year studying French and Italian and has also partook in student productions including The Crucible. This year, she’s been living in between Rome and Paris as part of her year abroad.

She wants to work in fashion

Windsor undertook and internship at Chanel and, in an interview with Miss Vogue, said she wants to “to make a contribution to any aspect behind the creative process.
