The cousin of Prince William and Prince Harry wore her golden blonde hair down loose in a straightened style and held in place by her exquisite headgear - which spouted a sheath of black netting. A subtle makeup blend highlighted her pretty features and a pair of dazzling crystal drop earrings daintily caught the light.

The socialite wore a long sleeve black dress featuring a classy V-neck, eighties-inspired shoulder pads, a slim-fitting bodice and a fit and flare skirt that fell below her knees. A pair of on-trend black patent loafers designed by royally-approved brand Penelope Chilvers made for a practical choice of footwear.

Lady Amelia accessorised with a delicate chain necklace, a glittering gold ring and a black handbag by Lulu Guinness. Showcasing a black satin finish, a bow applique and gold hardware that served up punkish charm, the luxury item, which retails at £295, was a sophisticated finishing touch.

Amelia, who is a sustainable fashion activist and model, is the youngest child of George Windsor, Earl of St Andrews. Her grandfather is the Duke of Kent, who is first cousin to the late Queen.

Queen Elizabeth II died at the age of 96. She was Britain's longest-reigning monarch in history and head of state for 70 years. The sad news came 517 days after the death of the Queen's beloved late husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, who passed away at the age of 99 in April 2021.
