Earl Spencer is expected to fly to South Africa to comfort his twin daughter Eliza as she mourns the loss of her boyfriend. Christopher Elliot. The 17-year-old died in a car accident in Cape Town, where Eliza, 16, lives with her mother Victoria, the Earl's first wife, and her stepfather, Jonathan Aitken.

In an entry on networking website Facebook the pretty teenager - who is the niece of the late Princess Diana - had described him on as "my beautiful boy", declaring herself madly in love with "the most amazing and most gorgeous boy in the world".

A memorial service was held for the youngster on Thursday at Reddam House, the private school he attended in the South African city.
