British aristocrat belles, Lady Amelia and Lady Eliza Spencer, recently gave the world a glimpse into their incredibly cultivated bond. Here, they candidly reflect on the months leading up to Amelia’s wedding while signed to Storm Management. Born and raised in South Africa, Amelia and Eliza have been the best of friends since birth. They were recently joined online by their siblings, elder sister Lady Kitty and younger brother Louis, Viscount Althorp. For Victoria Aitken and Earl Spencer, the sense of family runs much deeper. Earl Spencer, brother of the late Diana, Princess of Wales, is regularly touted as a key influence on their values.
Amelia Spencer is married to Greg Mallett, a fitness entrepreneur and wellness advocate. She let us into the private spaces of her wedding planning. The couple spent the night before their nuptials at La Cotte Farm, a picturesque location nestled in the wine region near Cape Town. This breathtaking landscape became the inspiration and canvas for this couple’s big day. Greg, who is inseparable from Eliza’s boyfriend Channing Miller, more aptly describes how connected their lives are.
"Channing is one of my best and closest friends. We played a lot of the same sports, like rugby and water polo, and naturally shared a lot of the same interests." – Greg

Their mutual bond goes past emotional intuition to a cellular level, increasing their emotional closeness reaffirming their bond. For Eliza, learning about their similarities was like a missing puzzle piece snapping into place.
