Lady Amelia Windsor Is the Most Stylish Young Royal I've Seen
She's Prince Harry and Prince William's third cousin.

The title of "most beautiful member of the royal family," doesn't belong to Kate Middleton or even royal newcomer Meghan Markle. No, Lady Amelia Windsor holds that honor (opens in new tab). If you're wondering, "Wait, who is she?" I shall clue you in. The 22-year-old royal is Prince Harry and Prince William's third cousin—her grandfather is Prince Edward, the Duke of Kent, who is first cousins with Queen Elizabeth II. While it might take you a day to figure out all the nuances of the British royal family tree, it'll take you about five seconds to realize Lady Amelia Windsor is the most stylish young royal of 2018.
Aside from her impeccable taste in clothes—she loves bold prints and colors—Lady Amelia Windsor is a model, so there's that. She's appeared in Vogue and attends Fashion Week every season, sometimes walking the runways. The royal even landed on Vanity Fair's International Best Dressed List in 2017. Get to know Amelia even better, ahead, then give her a follow on Instagram (opens in new tab) to obsess over her outfits even more.
Lady Amelia Windsor Is 22 Years Old
She is Prince Harry and Prince William's third cousin (opens in new tab) and 38th in the line of succession to the British throne. Her paternal grandfather, the Duke of Kent, is a first cousin of Elizabeth II (their fathers were brothers whose father was King George V—following all that?). Meanwhile, her parents are George Windsor, the Earl of St. Andrews, and Sylvana Tomaselli, Countess of St. Andrews. Lady Amelia Windsor has two siblings: Edward, Lord Downpatrick, 29, and Lady Marina, 25.

Many members of the British royal family (like Kate and Meghan) can't have their own social media. Lucky for us, Mel can. Here she is in a pic she posted on said account with a personalized clutch featuring her nickname.

She's not afraid to get silly and playful in pictures (refreshing since royals typically have to be so decorous), especially when she's not on the red carpet or attending Fashion Week shows.
Her Fascinator Game Is on Point
For Trooping the Colour (the Queen's birthday party (opens in new tab)) in June 2017 Lady Amelia Windsor chose a navy hat with white cross-hatched veil.

Mel appears to mix-and-match her swimsuits (yellow and purple? why not?!) and wears whatever she likes, paying no mind to the trends.
She's a Fan of "Naked" Dresses
She wore a see-through Dior dress to the Christian Dior runway show in 2017 and another naked dress (opens in new tab) to the The Fashion Awards (opens in new tab) the same year.
She's Not Afraid to Wear Bold Prints
Lady Amelia Windsor attended the private view of Frida Kahlo: Making Her Self Up event in London in June 2018. She wore an artsy dress, cinched with a buckle belt, and wedge sandals.
