Lady Amelia Spencer is one of the seven children of Charles Spencer, Princess Diana's brother.
She was five when Diana died in a car crash and grew up away from the spotlight in South Africa.

Amelia Spencer is one of Princess Diana's many nieces and nephews from her three siblings, Sarah, Jane, and Charles.
