After leaving St Mary’s Ascot at 18, the young royal made her debut into society among her contemporaries, including Italian aristocrat Donna Melusine Ruspoli and Indian royal Princess Akshita Bhanj Deo, at the Bal des Debutantes in 2013.

Amelia, like her sister, is a ‘do-gooder’ with a philanthropic attitude to business and a particular passion for climate activism. Amelia is an ambassador for the non-profit organisation No More Plastic and has worked with Fashion Roundtable, a sustainable fashion outlet. Alongside activism, Amelia collaborates with a number of brands on Instagram, including Brora and Chaumet, as well as modelling through agency Storm. She’s often spotted attending fashion events and recently wore a chic all-black ensemble to the Dior show at Paris Fashion Week in January.
Based in trendy Dalston, Amelia once said a good party involves ‘Great music, good speakers and nice tequila (because I never get hungover from it)’. Before moving to London Amelia read French and Italian at the University of Edinburgh, where she enjoyed yoga and outdoor swimming, whatever the weather. Whilst studying she did a placement year in Paris working for Azzedine Alaïa, although the designer died whilst the young royal was at the company. She later described meeting him as ‘an honour’.
Her hobbies now include pottery making (she’s been seen leaving ceramic classes in London), as well as mediation and wellness ventures. Amelia has long had an interest in art and its history, often sharing photographs of paintings and drawings on her Instagram account.
