Princess Diana’s nieces relocated to Cape Town, South Africa in the 90s with their family, but Kitty Spencer moved to London in 2016 followed by Amelia and Eliza this summer

The twins are already chasing A-lister glamour, signing with Storm Model Management and attending the Venice Film Festival, Miss Dior fragrance launch and more

Kitty Spencer has had the spotlight focused squarely on her after being named an ambassador for Dolce & Gabbana and marrying billionaire Michael Lewis in an extravagant wedding in Italy earlier this year. But now Kitty’s twin sisters, Amelia and Eliza, have moved to the UK hoping to achieve some of the fame and wealth that Kitty has experienced since she moved to London in 2016 in a “coming of age” moment. They made the move this summer.

The 29-year-old twin sisters have made their aspirations clear by walking the red carpet at celebrity events and doing interviews with high profile magazines. Blonde, beautiful and ambitious, here’s how Amelia and Eliza have wowed the world since their reinvention.

The big move

Earl Charles Spencer and Victoria Aitken moved to South Africa in 1995 to escape the spotlight. Amelia and Eliza were three at the time and grew up in the wealthy suburb of Constantia, Cape Town. The twin sisters have the titles of Lady Amelia and Lady Eliza, but said they never used those titles while living there, telling The Telegraph they had a “normal” childhood in Cape Town.

After their parents split in 1997, their father returned to the Spencer family home, Althorp, in Northamptonshire. The twins decided to relocate to London, explaining that they believe the city will “challenge and inspire” them. Three weeks after they moved to central London in June, they told Hello magazine they live 20 minutes away from each other.

Eliza said their older sister Kitty has always spoken about fancy London events and that they couldn’t wait to experience them first hand. Amelia told the Natural Diamond Council that even though London and South Africa are vastly different, because they spent many holidays in London for family holidays, the change was not that much of a shock. But the sisters also admitted that they are ready for a fresh start and welcome all the new experiences and opportunities that will come their way.

Double win
