Harry's glam model cousin marries - but royal relatives appear to miss ceremony
Princes William and Harry's glamorous model cousin has married in a mountain top wedding - but her royal relatives seemed to have missed the ceremony.
Lady Amelia Spencer, who is also a niece of the late Princess Diana, tied the knot with long-term boyfriend Greg Mallett near Cape Town in South Africa after 14 years of dating.
Amelia, 30, is a daughter of Diana's younger brother Charles Spencer and his former wife Victoria Lockwood.
She has a twin sister Lady Eliza Spencer, an older sister Lady Kitty Spencer and a younger brother Louis Spencer, who has the title Viscount Althorp.

William and Harry were not mentioned as attending the nuptials either, with the Court Circular showing William holding a meeting in his role as president of the Earthshot Prize yesterday.
Amelia did attend William's wedding to Kate at Westminster Abbey with her sisters in 2011, although she was curiously missing when Harry tied the knot to Meghan Markle in 2018.

She wore a series of gowns by Dolce & Gabbana with her main dress, which had an intricate floral lace design, a high neck, long sleeves and puffed shoulders, reportedly taking six months to create.
The couple exchanged their vows in front of celebrity guests that included singer Pixie Lott, and Idris Elba's wife Sabrina at the Villa Aldobrandini in Rome.

A source told MailOnline at the time: "Charles recently suffered an injury and perhaps that will be the reason for him not travelling, but it is just easier for everyone that he is not there."
Meanwhile, Amelia and twin Eliza, who are both models, were born in 1992, grew up in South Africa and were just five when their late aunt Diana died.
In 2021, they gave a rare joint interview in Tatler where they shared fond memories of their "incredibly warm, maternal and loving" aunt.
Speaking about Diana's death in 1997, Eliza said: "As a child, I realised the enormity of the loss for my father and family.

"It was only later that I came to understand the significance of the loss of her as a figure in the world."
