Lady Amelia Spencer and Greg Mallet’s wedding
Lady Amelia Spencer looked stunning as she walked down the aisle in a custom-made Versace gown on the arm of her brother Samuel Atkin.
Speaking to royalist weekly magazine, Hello! Amelia said Samuel is the other love of her life so it just made so much sense for him to walk her down the aisle.
“He was born when I was 11 and we have a very, very special relationship. He even said in his speech at the wedding that up until the age of seven, he believed I was his ‘other mum’,” Amelia told the publication during an interview.
Amelia said her wedding gown, which featured a two-and-a-half metre train and Swarovski crystals, had a special link to her late aunt Diana.
Princess Diana and Gianni Versace were close friends and the former Princess often stepped out wearing one of his designs.
Amelia told Hello! that she thinks Diana would have been very proud to see her on her wedding day.
