31/03/2018 - 05:40 PM

World, meet Lady Amelia Windsor, your new favourite royal. The 22-year-old daughter of the Earl of St Andrews is the latest member of the royal family to have drawn the public's attention, and it's easy to see why. With her long blonde hair, pouty lips, and gorgeous wardrobe [1], it didn't take long for Amelia to become a household name in the fashion industry, and we have a feeling we're about to see a lot more of her. Read on to discover 13 facts about her, and learn more about two of our other favourite royals, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie [2].

She's 22.

She was born on 24 August 1995.

She's 36th in line to the throne.

Her father is George Philip Nicholas Windsor, Earl of St Andrews, who is the elder son of Prince Edward, Duke of Kent. Prince Edward is the Queen's first cousin.

She sometimes attends official events.

She attended the National Service of Thanksgiving as part of the 90th birthday celebration for The Queen back in 2016.

She's a second-year student at the University of Edinburgh.

She studies French and Italian and spent this past year travelling between Paris and Rome.

She made her official debut into society in 2013.

She attended the Débutantes Ball in Paris and looked like an actual princess.

She's very active on Instagram.

Contrary to other members of the royal family who don't have personal Instagram accounts (that we know of, anyway), Amelia Windsor is quite active on the platform. She shares a lot of pictures of her life in Edinburgh and likes to document her travels.

She has been crowned the "most beautiful member of the royal family."

In April 2016, she appeared on the cover of Tatler. She was the first royal to do so in eight years, and the magazine then described her as "the most beautiful member of the royal family."

She regularly attends Fashion Week.

Amelia is often seen of the front row, and she's even friends with designers such as Maria Grazia Chiuri.

She's walked down the runway.

In February 2017, she was chosen by Dolce & Gabbana to model one of their creations for their Autumn/Winter 2017 collection.

Amelia actually has a modelling contract.

She was signed by Storm Models, the prestigious agency that discovered Kate Moss [3] and Cara Delevingne and works with Cindy Crawford [4], Toni Garn, and Andreja Pejic.

She wants to work in the fashion industry, but not as a model.

In January 2013, she told Vogue [5] that she "would love to make a contribution to any aspect behind the creative process. On my year abroad I want to really further my understanding of every aspect of a fashion house: from the making of the fabrics to the production of a catwalk show."

She's a keen traveller.

This year, she travelled to Morocco and told Vogue [6] that she would love to visit her sister in New York and go to Jamaica.

She's a true miellennial.

She admitted to Vogue that she can't live without avocado, and, to be honest, same.
