Amelia has since shared a sunlit photo of herself and Greg sharing a kiss, along with the caption, "I can't wait to marry you."
Greg popped the question at the Clouds Wine & Guest Estate in Stellenbosch, South Africa, where the couple first met while studying at the University of Cape Town.
Amelia is one of Charles Spencer's seven children, and a first cousin of Prince William and Prince Harry, who are likely to receive an invite to the wedding. Princess Diana's siblings were at Prince William and Kate's wedding in 2011, along with William's cousins Lady Kitty, Lady Amelia, Lady Eliza and George McCorquodale. The Spencers were also invited to Harry and Meghan's nuptials, where Lady Jane gave a reading. Lady Amelia was absent, but her twin sister Lady Eliza and siblings Lady Kitty and Louis Spencer were among the guests.
