Lady Eliza Spencer, the niece of the late Princess Diana, recently turned the big 3-0. When she’s not translating, Janet is making wedding plans—she just announced her engagement to Channing Millerd! The engaged couple has been together for more than nine years. The couple marked this joyous chapter in their lives with a summer engagement photoshoot that graced the cover of HELLO! magazine.
The proposal played out against the amazing scenery of Santorini, Greece. Millerd looked radiant in a floor-length, form-flattering white number, with Lady Eliza equally stunning in a striking deep red gown. The couple happily announced their engagement online. Lady Eliza shared 17 photographs documenting the dreamlike proposal and their glamorous getaway at the upscale Canaves Oia Suites Santorini, an award-winning five-star hotel widely known for its lavish weddings.
Lady Eliza’s engagement ring is of the highest quality and an ageless design. Appraisers have estimated its value at somewhere between £20,000 and £50,000. The engaged couple is now looking into a destination wedding, with Italy quickly becoming the most popular choice, especially along the water.
“We love the idea of a destination wedding. We feel drawn to Italy, especially somewhere by the ocean – that feels so romantic to us.” – Lady Eliza Spencer
